i had some coralife 50/50 mine compact florescent screw in bulbs for my 10g after having regular bulbs in it. my swords starting dying and had tons of algae growth. the LFS i got them at was about 30mins away and i had a busy week so i picked up some marineland CF 10watt 5100k natural daylight lights. when i went to return the 50/50 lights the LFS said they could only exchange lights:screwy: whatever so i got the coralife colormax bulbs. it says they're 6700k daylight lights. i notice they're pink so i figure they will put off a pink tint. when i get him they give off a nasty orangish pink color. the marineland made the tank look so much better than the coralife. should i stick with the marineland even though they have less of a light spectrum than the coralife?
