Ello' fellow planted freaks! So yeah I got the bug kinda bad and am now on my 4th planted. And the litle flourscent that came with the tank just ain't cutting it.
The bulb it came with is some horrible purple light. So in my quest to replace I decided to retrofit it with a kit from AHS. Now for bulbs I can get the 6700K that AH has. OR I found these 50/50 bulbs on the Ebay that are half 7100K and half 8000K. My main goal here is I want a brighter spectrum light. Right now as a temp replacement for the stock fixture I have a 10K 36w PC fixture but frankly I feel that is too much light for this tank however I dig the color that it gives off.
The retro fit is a pair of 13wers and this is going over a 6 gal tank.
But before I drop coin and get a pair of 10K I was wondering if anyone has any exp with these bulbs or similar temp mixtures. like what color is the overall light that it produces? It looks like half may be a pink hue but the other half white. so possibly a good mix? what do you all think reguardless of if you've used these bulbs or not.
