The Planted Tank Forum - View Single Post - Most Preferred Companion PC Lamp to 9325K? (Now with photos!)

I have only used EIKO as companion lamps. I used to run 2 EIKO 5000K with 2 Corallife 10,000K daylight. Then I switched to 2 GE 9325K and 2 EIKO 6500K. Unfortunately, b/c of the way I did it, I have no idea if the EIKO bulbs are any good and have always wondered. I didn't want all 9325K b/c of the pink tint, but now I think the pink tint is not so bad.
