Been using the 9325 for about 2 years love them. Came with a light fixture I bought used. Amazing. Starting a 14T bought 2x18 Current, square pin. Any suggestions on something comparable to achieve a similar look. To my knowledge the 9325 is not made to fit this lamp.
The reds sure do pop with 9325.
Thanks Karen

I use the Current USA dual daylight lamps. There is a photo of this combination on page 5. I've been considering trying the Philips pl-950.

Would the 9325K bulbs show up and enhance the red color of the cardinal tetras?

Yes but can also get this with a lot of bulbs.

My fixture can hold a total of 4 bulbs. Would that be enough? What would you recommend if I get all four 9325K bulbs or combine them with other ones? If you suggest a combination, please specify what type and amount. Thanks a lot.

Hanzo 10,000k bulbs are fine, but 13,000K are probably too blue for planted tank use.

I use 10 k bulbs on most of my tanks, I think it helps grow red plants better.

I would mix them with a high CRI bulb to offset the very low CRI of the 9325s.
You'd need to go around 5000K to get 90 to 92 CRI. This would provide a nicely balanced lighting.

You are correct Zapins. Red plants cant utilize red as it is reflected so they depend more on wavelengths at the blue end of the spectrum. Blue light will also make plants bushier while the red promotes stem growth and leaf elongation.
