I've recently set up a tank and decided to put in a couple of live plants. I didnt realize how much there was to it...but now I really like the live plants....and so do the fish! I decided I need to go get some more light. I cant really afford to get a new light set up so I thought I would try to at least get something a little better than what I had. I just went out today and got a couple bulbs that say they are for freshwater fish and help promote plant growth. I am now reading here about lights and see this K word with a value. Well the value on the lights I just got is 18000K, but only 15 W a piece. Is this too much??? What exactly is the K???
