Re: [APD] Green Algae

[revance at indiana_edu]

I have heard that using lights with a color temperature of 5500K and less 
promote algae blooms. I have always used 6700K, so I don't have any first hand 
experience, this is just what I have heard. Anybody have any experiences to 
back this up or disprove it?
