    Question 6500k

    Hi everyone it's been a while.

    So I bought replacement bulbs for my deep blue solar extreme fixture.

    I'm worried.... I'm happy with the 2 420 nm purchase but before I install the bulbs the 2 6500k are worrying me. Will they be to yellow or produce to much algae? I'm accustom with the 10k but thought the trichromatic 6500k may produce more light for my softies sps n lps corals.

    100 gallon tank mixed reef a lil bit of hair algae ugh!!!

    I wouldn't mind trying them n returning them but to remove hood and fixture to replace bulbs is a super pain.

    I use 10K in my T5 over my tank but 6500 over my fuge. I don't see any more nuisance algae in my fuge in than in the tank.
