Coming along nicely, a journal is not a journal unless it's pic friendly...
For chaeto I found that at 2700-3500k spiral bulb grows it the best, the red violet LEDs will do the same but leds in that spectrum work better for different macro. Believe it or not my sump/anemone tank grows dragon breath with only blue LEDs.
Plants mostly green will use other colours like red, UV, purple, pink, blue and abit of yellow but bounce back greens. Whatever colour the plant is it will not use that colour. I love horticulture so I've done a lot of research in the best light to grow.
In water the LEDs get filtered abit but for cost the spiral bulbs do just fine. LEDs can cost 2-4x more.
