What's better?

[jacpr233]

Hi guys, what lightning would be better for my 72 gal hi tech tank? 1 10,000k and 1 6,500k, or 2 6,500k, or 3 6,500k.

I only want to do dwarf baby tears and giants baby tears in the tank.

I already have pressurized co2

What are your tank dimensions and livestock like?

Are you wanting bulbs, or LED? Or do you already have a fixture for it? I run a double t5ho fixture plus 2 48" truelumen pro LEDs and it can grow anything.

I already have a fixture. It's a wavepoint 4 bulbs. Im starting from fresh again and I want to know what set up to go with. I've heard about finnex but all I've heard is low light plants nothing on high tech which is what I'm going for.

I'm worried that much light might induce algae, despite CO2. 4 bulbs seems a lot to me. Every tank is different though.

I would go with pink or purple actinic and moonlight blue with one sparkling white 6500

I'm currently running a 10,000k and a 6,500k. I know 4 bulbs is way too much. I was wondering if 3 6,500k would be ok.

I think you would be, maybe replace the 10k with a moonlight blue or lower light 50/50....
