Re: My new Tank
Theres a color spectrum chart that Ive seen and 20,000K lights show a lot of big blue waves, seemed like 95-99% was blue waves with just a tad smidgen of the other colors. It's specially made for reef tanks. 18,000K might show a tad bit more colors, so the majority of it is still blue.
Plants need a broad color spectrum but mostly red. And I believe 6700K is the best spectrum for plants to utilize.
You dont have to change all of them out. Just switch some to 6700K or any spectrum close to it.
