Lighting Questions
Hi all, I am pretty much a newb when it comes to lights.
I have 2 tanks that I want to redo the lighting for as I am unhappy with what I have now. in my 180 I am using 2 "Reef Sun" 50/50s. It's a combo of 6500K trichromatic daylight phosphor and actinic 420 phosphor. Can someone explain to me what this means? Then, I have regular lights from home depot which are too yellow for my taste. They are Phillips F30 Home light. The Reef Suns are very blue which I think would be okay if the other lights werent so yellow. I want something more white. Blue/White is ok but I dont like this blue/yellow. I dont have anything as of yet on the 90 gallon but I was gonna get those cheapy 7.29 fixtures from home depot... Also, is my understanding correct that the 6500k number is a representaion of the color? Like 10000-18000 is very blue where lower numbers are yellow and red? TIA ~Mort |
