20,000K vs. Actinic 03

[got bait?]

What is the difference to the tank's inhabitants when using an Actinic [acronym:44ec7a0760="Actinic lighting"]03[/acronym:44ec7a0760] [acronym:44ec7a0760="Compact Flourescent"]CF[/acronym:44ec7a0760] and a 20,000 [acronym:44ec7a0760="Metal halide light"]MH[/acronym:44ec7a0760] ?

The mh will be more intense. I'm not real sure what the question is, cause all the answers I'm coming up with are pretty samrtassed answers, [acronym:8ea66ee960="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:8ea66ee960]. [acronym:8ea66ee960="For what its worth"]FWIW[/acronym:8ea66ee960], with 20K [acronym:8ea66ee960="Metal halide light"]MH[/acronym:8ea66ee960], you do not need actinic supplamentation, it provides alot of light in the same wave length as actinic.

Didn't think there was a big difference other than intensity. Just wondering if there was a wave length difference that the inverts preferred over the other.

The 20K will have several different peaks and provide the same peaks as actinics do, [acronym:76cc360bf9="For what its worth"]FWIW[/acronym:76cc360bf9], I am about to upgrade my lighting and will be going with 20K, I plan on using my actinics as well. We'll see how blue it is and then revise from there, [acronym:76cc360bf9="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:76cc360bf9].
