18W 8000k LED for Planted tank

[jamesmj]

Hi All,

Currently, im using 8000k led of 18w.

I'm thinking of changing to 7000k led.

Is it a better choice? or 8000k is actually fine for my planted tank?

My tank consists of bucep, java, amazon sword, nana and mini pellia.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

Your plants will still be able to adapt and grow under both types of color temps... main difference is the 7000k LED will tend to make the tank look abit more towards the warmer yellowish tone, compared to the 8000k LED. It mainly depends on which color tone you prefer when viewing the tank.
