T5 Bulb Colors

Hey guys,

I have a 15 gal dirted tank and it's been up and running for a couple months now and everything is going awesome. The only thing I've noticed is the rotala grows out towards the windows (even though the shades are down). Right now I have a double T5 strip right above the tank with two pink plant bulbs in it. Do you guys think the double pink is a good combo? or should I use one pink and one white daylight bulb?

Let me know what ya think! Thanks

- Ryan

I switched out to one super daylight zoomed t5 ho. I was running two pink zoomed t5 ho. I have noticed more algae growth which equals more maintenance but in the flip side way more growth. I would reccomend switching out to a white bulb but just rememmber you will need to put more time into maintaining the tank.

Thanks
