Howdy all. I am in the process of taking down my old saltwater 40b and am going to look into doing a planted tank. I got a really nice light for the coral I use to keep and was wondering if it would work for plants? I was leaning towards black sand, black out back, a good canister filter and glass top. Probably a colorfully community tank.

Does it have reds and greens or just whites and blues?

^^ this and also due to the 16000k your plants my look abit washed out. They tend to look more vibrant at 6500k. A lot of people have success growing low light plants under t8 coral globes so I can see why it wouldn't work for lower light plants like Java ferns, anubias, vals, crypts, mosses
I'm not sure on the colors....I'd have to Google search it. As far as the 16000k I think there is a knob on the side to "cool" it down. Sorry this light is back at my parents and I'm not there.
