![]() Bulb choice and color are a personal preference, everybody likes something different. With 400w bulbs I haven't noticed a decrease in growth with a higher K bulb, if anything it's been the opposite. 400 watts is a lot of light!
I've been trying to match the color temperature of my halides with what I get with 1 blue+ and 1 aquablue T5, but I haven't found the bulb yet. Bulbs I've tried so far with Icecap ballast(no actinics on): XM 10K- too yellow Aquaconnect- too blue Reeflux 10K- too red Radium 20K- as blue as my moon lights Plusrite 14K- don't even want to go there Ushio 14K- Perfect when first installed, but shifted just a touch too yellow after about a month I'm thinking about trying Hamilton 14K or Reeflux 12K next. |
