you might notice a blue hue in the tank, one of the lights burned out and the only thing i had was an was actinic bulb. Actinic are not really used in planted tanks but i was asking around in APC (aquatic plant central) and i got an interesting answer. anyone interested in learning something can check it out here: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/foru ... tinic.html and together with an 85k (plant grow) and 10k looks fine in my tank

what do you guys think? how is it looking??
