T-5 Lighting ???

[JoelR]

I'm getting a new 36" T-5 X 4 bulb with moon lights for my anniversary. I've been running 67K bulbs in my Power CP fixture. Should I go with all 4 bulbs at 67K or should I do a mix?

I do have plants in the tank.

Thanks,
Joel

Anyone??? It ships tomorrow morning and I have to let them know before it goes out. As it is, I've ordered all 67k but I can change it before morning.
They've suggested going with 3, 67K and one pink bulb. What do you all think?

Thanks

6700 is the normal plant light but alot of people like to add 10000k in there bulbs because it is said to POP more colors but it is all your choice. i think im going to run two 6700 and to 10000 but thats just me Hope that helps

either combination will work, just stay below 10,000k. i have all 10,000k in my high light tank and the plants are doing great. i personally dont like 6,700 or 6,500k's. the light is too yellow for my liking. half and half is the best of both worlds

Thanks guys. I've decided on doing two 67's and one pink for the plants, and one 10 for me. I'm thinking I'll use a 67 and pink for dawn & dusk and the other 67 and 10 for mid day. (maybe all 4 for mid-day, I'll have to play with it). Keep in mind,, I do for the time being have a double power compact on the other side,,, both being 67's I believe.

Thanks again for your help and I'll update with the results.
