12k?

[USMCfishcrzy]

Bought my light and it was supposed to be 10k. But when I got it the lights in it were 12k. Is this light going to kill my plants?

 

[fort384]

No. It isn't ideal, but it definitely won't kill your plants.

 

[USMCfishcrzy]

Wat will it cause?

 

[mfdrookie516]

less useable light compared to 10,000k bulbs

 

[USMCfishcrzy]

Will it still work for my plants?

 

[fort384]

What plants? What size tank? How many watts and what kind of bulb?

 

[USMCfishcrzy]

125g 4x96w. Amazon sword. Hygrophila Kompart couple different grass.

 

[USMCfishcrzy]

Two are the actinic bulbs not sure on the others

 

[fort384]

Wow. That is a lot of light. 12,000K will be fine. Are you running CO2??

 

[fort384]

Never mind, just saw the actinic part. You won't need CO2 with running 2X12000K and 2Xactinic. Your plants should do fine, although I would imagine some dosing will be required. CO2 would also benefit the tank, but you could get away without it.

 

[USMCfishcrzy]

So are they a low grade like will my plants not turn out as great with those lights rather than others?

 

[fort384]

No. You have plenty of light. I wouldn't worry about the difference from 10000K to 12000K when you have that much T5HO light on your tank. It will work out.
