lightningstrike Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 6.5kk is those closer to yellow region ?? 6.5kk is in the yellow spectrum. btw, warm white FL is abt 3kk, cool white FL is abt 4kk.

Sponsor dr evil Posted October 4, 2004 Sponsor Share Posted October 4, 2004 best lightings for refugium is 6.5k spectrum as its good for growth. the number of watts required is depending on how big ur refugium is. if u can afford it, you can use 2x24watts t5 with a 6.5kk tubes. that will definate promote growth to your micro algaes. PL tubes run abit hot compare to t5....... my 2 cents worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
