Check the label or the bulb. Anything between 5000k and 10000k. Most CFL bulbs are 2700k. Daylight, or full spectrum are generally between 5k and 6.7k.

Couldn't get my dwarf hairgrass to stop floating so its pinned between flourite substrate and glass will it be ok? If not how do I keep in from floating? Sorry about the foggy water just got done stirring up the flourite

You could try to secure it with toothpicks. A pair of toothpicks pushed in at opposing angles may help.
