New light fixture; please help me with bulbs.
In the upcoming weeks, I'll be converting my 55 gallon to dirt. I figured what better time to upgrade the lighting. I bought a Zoomed 48" hood that holds two 54W bulbs. A few sources that I've seen state that 5000K is ideal for plant growth. However, I've also heard a few people say, from personal experience, that they felt that 5000K actually hurt their plants. The manufacturer recommends a 5000K ( http://www.bigalspets.com/Zoo-Med-Flora-5000K-Lamp/dp/B003C5JML8 ) and a 6500K ( http://www.bigalspets.com/Zoo-Med-Ultra-6500K-Lamp/dp/B003C5P88Y ) paired with each other. I'm most likely going to do 1 of each, or 2 6500k's.
Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions for me?
