[APD] Re: Ideal Lights (Formatted better, I hope)

'I'm referring to the current fashion statement of "the more K the better" 
in fluorescent tubes.'

Yes, it really -is- a fashion statement in that the coloration of the stuff 
in the tank (fish, plants, rocks, drunken skeletons...) is taking primary 
consideration now that we've got the intensity thang covered. Things just 
look better with bluer lights, but I suppose there's an upper limit.
"Algae do better with blue light"Dang, there goes my hope that some new 
8800K PC lamps might harass the GD algae. Where'd you read that?"Plants 
need more red than blue"I thought plants had two kinds of chlorophyll, one 
uses blue and the other red?TW
