    Hi to all,

    I am using flourescent tube for my planted tank. Would like to find out if there's any difference with using a "daylight" tube and an "extra bright" tube? Which is more suitable for a planted tank or r they the same?

    Thanks!

    Cool daylight would be sufficient. It would be around 6000 to 8000 K. Which is good for planted tank

    An afternoon trimming my watery garden is better
    then an afternoon with a therapist

    Thanks.
    i thought those extra bright ones would be better as my tank is a 6 footer but i can only accommodate 2-3 flourescent tubes (4ft).

    I suggest you use PL lights. It would be better for you in this case
