Aquatic Plant Central - View Single Post - Lighting for Planted Tank? 5,500K with either 6,500K or 10,000K?

Offhand I'd say the Sun Max Plant Growth with the 5500K. However, when choosing a bulb by kelvin (a temp scale) you should choose based on tank appearence and how you like the look. Unfortunatley the links provided didnt have any spectral output graphs for the bulbs to see what light theyemit.
