My tank has been up and running since about March 1 and I feel as if I've had pretty good success with it. Its a community tank with a few plants.
Haven't lost one fish very stable water parameters... its been really easy to care for and very enjoyable to have. My question is this. Other than that red crypt in the back, the other plants seem to grow at less than a snails pace. They are all healthy and green, just not growing hardly at all. I'd like to get them going a bit. Here is the light I currently use.

I realize that is really low light for a 29 gallon tank, but it looks to me like its doing enough to keep everything nice and healthy looking and green. And yes, the fixture still has the acintic bulb in it.
My question is this: If I replace the acintic bulb with another daylight bulb, will that make a noticable difference in the plant life? And the bonus question is wether to get a 6,700K bulb, or another 10,000K bulb.
Thanks in advance!
