Hello all,

Can Coralife 50/50 compact fluorescent bulbs to used effectively to grow
plants? I have a 125 loach tank with two 55 watt 6700k CFs and nothing but
java ferns and moss grows. I'm considering two 36" Aqualife (Coralife) CF
fixtures, but it comes with 96 watt 50/50 marine bulbs. The manufacturer's
site lists these bulbs as 50% 10000k daylight and 50% Actinic 03 Blue.
These will almost double my light output, but
I hear that the actinic lighting does nothing for plant growth. Any
thoughts on this would be appreciated.
