Babelfish          Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003    | For plants you want a bulb that offers 5000 to 6500 Kelvin, and will give you 2-5 watts (flourescent) light per gallon. "Daylight" or "sunlight" are what you want to look for. I was able to get the kelvin of one of these "plant grow" bulbs, come to find out it's well above what aquatic plants do best under, and is more towards the ammount that is used in SW tanks to grow algae. ^_^  Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link]  |
