I have a dual bulb T5 fixture sitting around from a reef tank i took down that I would like to re-use on my freshwater planted tank, however I am not sure (i think they will be) if the bulbs in it will be too bright for the plants.. It is an aquaticlife T5 fixture with 1- 10,000k bulb and 1- actinic... are these a no-no for a FW planted? i know the actinic probably is but what about the 10,000k? can i reuse this and just buy a 650nm daylight bulb to replace the actinic? or do i need to replace the 10,000k with a 6,000k ?
I'm heading to my LFS tonight after work and would like a quick answer if possible...
Thanks a bunch!
