Default Is 10000k to much for F/W Plants?

Hi...
I'm upgrading my lighting to power compacts and have the option of
getting several different kelvin rated bulbs. I realize that the
higher the kelvin rating, the cooler the visual of the bulb appears. I
don't like my tank looking yellow with a 5500k bulb...so I want to get
a 10000k bulb for a crisper white light, but I've heard that I cant
grow plants very well with 10000k? Is this right? Is 10000k considered
a salt water/ marine bulb?

I've heard everyone raving about these GE 9325k bulbs and how great
they look but, aren't they awful close to 10000k bulb?

What about 6700k? Are these pretty yellow/ orange looking?

Thx
Nick D.
