I am putting together 55g African cichlids tank. I am gonna use 2 T8 48" fluorescent bulbs. What color temp bulbs should I use?
Tank will be mostly dark flat stones, one piece of driftwood and maybe two, three Anubias.
I know that for plants optimal temp is 6700K. Heard of people using actinic bulbs in theirs cichlids tanks.
How about 1000K? I was thinking about doing 6700K and 1000K together. Is that a good idea?
