Gro-lux

has anyone used these lights? What do you think of them?

They are 5000 kelvin, is this a good kelvin too fish up my fish and help my java fern grow?

6,500 is a good kelvin range... 5,000 is yellowish for me hehe BUUT right now im using a 4,400 kelvin bulb ! my tank is really yellowish but its the only way i can notch up my lighting ...

gro-lux are supposed to be plant bulbs right ? a good thing to do is to mix the bulbsm, get a gro lux and a standrad daylight bulb that should be better IMO

I bought a gro-lux tube a few weeks ago and I'm already wanting to change it , it's very pink!!! I have it mixed with other tubes including an arcadia tropical which is a lot nicer and cleaner looking. The plants directly underneath the tropical tube seem to be bubbling a lot more than the plants underneath the grolux.
I'd definetly recommend trying to get a hold of a different tube, but at the end of the day it's what you think looks best for your tank

hey. Yeah, it is very pink. but it is designed to show up the colours of the fish and does it extremely well. My light is not going to be for plants btw.

I will see if my lfs has arcadia.

I know it has the aqua glo and sun glo. these any good?
