I have ordered my light fixtures for a planted discus tank that I will be putting together in the near future and have to select my bulbs before tomorrow. Was looking for some advice on what to get. I have 3 T5HO 60" fixtures with 2 bulbs each and was planning on getting Giesmann PowerChrome bulbs of the following kinds:
1) 1 AquaBlue + 60/40 6000K:22000K
2) 3 Midday 6000K
3) 2 Aquaflora
Is there any advantage to having the blue spectrums in the tank or should I just replace with another midday or aquaflora? I was thinking it would really set of some of the blue discus I am planning on stocking but I really have no idea. I could replace any with Pure Actinic or Actinic+ bulbs.
Any thoughts on this combination or suggestions?
Also, I will be having moonlighting which I will achieve with a DIY blue LED setup if this is relevant.
