Ok guys, I'm having trouble deciding which route to take on this. I've got a 36" T5HOx2 light unit that I'm trying to decide on bulbs for. If it was another one of my aquariums I'd get a Geisemann Midday and a Geisemann Aquaflora as I've had experience with them and they grow my aquatic plants well. I'm not fond of the idea of the Aquaflora though as it emits a pink/red hue which looks very unnatural. Even though I will be adding the Current Satellite LED+ Flexible Strip which might off set the colors if adjusted properly. (http://www.bigalspets.com/satellite-fres...MgodKmcACg)
The main plants will be a combination of ferns, mosses, ficus and bromeliads
Here are the bulbs I'm looking at; what combination of the two would you more vivarium experienced people recommend?:
ZooMed Flora Sun - 5,000K
ZooMed Ultra Sun - 6,500K (full spectrum light with UVA)
Geiseman Midday - 6,000K
Geisemann Aquaflora - (Who knows what Kelvin)
Coralife Daylight - 6,700K
Coralife Colormax - (I can only find the nanometer specs 350-750nm)
I'm leaning towards a Geissman Midday and a Coralife Daylight (sole reason being that the Kelvin ratings are 700K in difference thus giving a larger spectrum of light). I could go with a ZooMed Flora (5,000K) instead, but I think it might be too yellow...Again, I dunno so I'm asking ya'll...
Thanks!
