I found a light fixture for my smaller tank at BigAls online but it says for Saltwater. I cant find any reason why it cant be use for freshwater so I need some advice here if this would really work on freshwater.

Thanks in advance.

that will work fine for fresh water, have tested its just slightly blueish which with the right fish looks AMAZING

So, it's just referring to the 10,000k bulb for saltwater use? If so, I can get a 6700k for planted tank, yes?

6700k is yellowish if you prefer the bluer tint it works just as well for plant growth, it has for me anyway. just sharing my experience, i also like the blue more than yellow

You can mix the bulbs also if you don't like the looks of either bulb. The GE 6500K is a great replacement bulb if you don't mind a little bit of yellow tint to the tank. Very inexpensive and great quality.
