Anyone using 10k PC's over their planted tanks? How do you like the "look" ?

Yesterday I set up a 10k 50/50 65w which will be a new planted tank when the cycling done I'll let you know it works out :mrgreen:

I had 6' 10K VHO over my planted tank. This was supplimented by a 4' actinic. I really like the look of the whiter lights. Now I have 6500k over it.
Reasons,...$ the 6500K are $10 a tube. the 10k from J&Ls were $50?
also plants are supposed to like the 6500K more. I haven't noticed a difference.

I have used 10k tubes for years on my FW planted. on the new FW planted tank I am doing I am going to use 10K 250 watt MH. it looks a little crisper but what I realy like about the 10K's is the colors in the fish pop out and you not left with the dull washed out green look of 5000-6500K bulbs
