LFS carry 6700k replacment bulbs. 5000-10000k work along with 650 nm.

Masoniac said:I believe the 50/50 is actinic and 10,000k
Bottomfeeder88 said:Is it normal or high output? Also what size is your tank?
Bottomfeeder88 said:That should give you a good medium light. If it ends up being to much, floaters or simply just raising the light a few inches will help.
aqua_chem said:It will depend on the geometry of your tank, with shallower tanks (ie 12L, 30B) having higher intensity than deeper tanks (55g).
