No, but using that much light can.
 
 As a rule, color temp isn't going to play an improtant part in how the tank
behaves. Color temp is only a way of estimating what the color ofhte light
will look like to humans, it's at best an ersatz for spectral output, which
is the thing that really matters. So you might ry one or another bulb and
find that one works better for you, but you won't be able to draw any strong
rules about color temp. You don't even have to use triphosphor or full
spectrum bulbs. Cheap shop lights seem to work jsut fine provided you have
enough light. In the range of lighting you're taking about, a pair fo 36s
over a 20g, you should have plenty of light regardless of the brand of bulb
or color temp. You might even find that you have too much light.
 
Don't let maintenance lag on this tank or it can really get a way from you.
If you're not using CO2; adding it probably would be a good idea.
 
Good luck, good fun,
Scott H.

Hi! All,

I am using two Philips PLL lights (@ 36 watts each) for my 20 G planted
tank. One of the light is "Cool Day Light" & the other one is a "Warm
White". Does using a "Warm White" light leads to increased algae growth? If
yes, will it be better if I use a "Cool White" instead of the "Warm White"?

Regards,
