Hi all, I am new to planted aquariums. I am converting my 75 gal reef tank to planted freshwater. Does anyone know where I can find 48" VHO 110W bulbs that are good for plants. Right now I am using Aqua Suns, but they are 10,000k. I can't seem to find any 6500K - 6800K bulbs for VHO.

Thanks for all the help.

10,000K is what is considered typically the upper range for plants, so imo, you should be ok.

Check out the guys at reef geek. The bulb you want to get and they everyone raves about is the 6500k midday bulb by Giesemann. And the price is cheaper then any where else I found.
