Kelvin and Plants
I currently have a 10,000K 175W MH lamp over a 65 gallon tank. The color
rendition is beautiful, but I'm not getting the lush growth that I think is
possible. I suppose it's possible that the plants "think" they are under a
lot more water because of the bluish light. The cabomba is flowering however,
so at least that plant likes it. I recently tried a 5500K Venture lamp. Ugly
Ugly Ugly. The CRI is 75 and the the colors are terrible. WAY too much
yellow, particularly since I am used to the other light. The cardinal tetras
turned green and orange. It is now on it's way back to be exchanged for a
6500K lamp. More to come.....
