hi,
i know my light set up isn't the best but it will be changed when i upgrade my tank at xmas.
i currently have 2 x 20W T8 Hagen Power-Glo bulbs running on my 30gallon. I thought higher WPG the better, but then was reading through some forums on here and realised its actually the K number along with the PAR that matters.
So I researched what K number my bulbs were and found out they are 18000K:icon_surp:icon_surp wow!
So i have ordered two 6500k bulbs for now, I take it this will benefit my plants a lot? The Power Glo i have are more suited to coral etc because of the spectrum of light i think.
