    I have to apologise as I have been posting the 'Cool-White' FLs and PLs are 6,500K. That is wrong. 6,500K lights are labelled as 'Daylight'.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    The colour. Higher K is bluer, lower K is redder. Cool-white is around 4,000-5,000K. The light is yellowish.

    yellow lighting is kinda ugly for a planted tank (or any tank). For planted, we would want it around 6500K (daylight). It would be white. Higher K would have more bluish tinge which promotes algae.

    Hope that answers your question
    Cheers!!
