For a fowlr you could go from 6500k to 10,000k and it will look great. GE makes an inexpensive one that is sold on Drsfostersmith.com pretty inexpensively.

thanx electrikat

One question though i seen 20 000k bulbs for the same price are these better because my tank is a 200 gallon

thanx

20,000k are just at the bluer end of the spectrum. They will give your tank a bluer look and you will not need to add blue actinic bulbs to your setup. I have 20,000k's on our tank and it is beautiful. These are very good if you think you might go to a reef someday. The 10,000k's are a whiter light but you would need blue actinics also to get the right mix. However if you are just FOWLR right now then it's just a matter of personal preference.

I already have some blue lights ,i thought 20 000k would just be brighter but thanxs for clearing that up
