A lighting question.
I just got a JBJ lighting system, it has 2 - 65watt BLUE ACTINIC bulbs and
2 - 65watt 10000k daylight bulbs. I know the actinic bulbs are pretty much useless in a freshwater planted tank, but now I'm starting to read that the 10000k's aren't much better then the actinic. Is it a waste of time using the 10000k also? If I run some 6500k daylights with the 10000k will that work? Or finely, should I just load up 4 6500k's and be done with it? thanks for any help, Thom |
