    Lightbulb compact fluorescent lamps

    It’s been 14 months since I replaced my lighting in my fish tank so they need to be replaced to maintain proper lighting for my plants.

    I have in my Coralife 36" Aqualight Power Compact Strip Light- 2X96Watt.

    I currently have 2 x 96 watt 10,000k compact fluorescent lamps that were included when I bought the kit. I see that I have several chouses when I replace the bulbs.

    I have a 65 gallon tank / heavily planted / with co2

    My choices are:
    Coralife 96 Watt 50/50 Power Compact Lamp
    Coralife Colormax-6700K 96W Power Compact
    Coralife Colormax 10000K 96W Power Compact

    What do you recommend???
    (I can choose two of the same kind or 2 different)

    Thanks,

    firstly if the previous 2x10K's worked and didn't give you probs, replace with those. If you want a softer look go for the 6700k's or 1x6700K and 1x10K will put you somewhere in the middle.

    I ordered 2 of the 6700k's. I think they will look the best and be good for my plants.
