If it says 17,000K, it's definitely blue. Actinic lighting is not suitable for plants...You'll end up growing algae instead.
Uh oh, your going to unleash the AquaChem with that statement! Lol
LOL... it says 17,000 lifetime hours with only 400 lumens. It's at the extremely low light level. Only good for fish only tanks, maybe as a supplemental light system to something more powerful.
I have several compacta plants, a moss ball, and some dwarf hairgrass. I have a 20gal tall. I have the original hood light. I rechecked the pkg, and its 550 Lumens. If that makes any difference. Lol
Would that setup be ok until then?
