    How about the combo D&D giesemann aquaflora together with D&D giesemann midday?? I currently have 2 12k white, and my plant is growing damn slow lol. Furthermore the discus colour is not really vibrant.

    How much does a t5ho 3ft osram cost? What temperature do they have? Good for plant growth and colour enhancing?

    You may check out the prices of Osram on fishy business website. Quite affordable in my opinion.

    Okay thanks. will go to check it out. I will change 1 tube to 6500k as my aquazonic 12000k seems to grow my HC in a slow manner. Or is 8000k better?

    ATI is available at Aquamarin and DElighting. Don't think they are for planted tank usage though, only for corals.

    Are there any other brands of 3ft t5ho higher then 8000k in market now? If yes where can we find it? Previously using aquablue special from ati as i purchase the lightset 2nd hand and it came with a pair of ati tube. Headed down to aquamarin but no stocks on the tubes i need. Thus searching for some other reliable brand of tubes.

    Color spectrum is just an eye catching, it doesn't make a different with plants. Their chlorophyll could made adjustments naturally to any color received.

    NA do sell 8000k osram tube, better to call them to check for ex stock. Individual preference for different types of tube use. Don't think it make a significant different to plant. I would mix 8000k and 6500k for my case.
