NanoReefer53 Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I've tried those Plant & Aquarium bulbs for my old planted aquarium before. The are high in the red and pink range which are good for plants but are bad for a reef aquarium. If you do try it, you'll have a good lush growth of algae Link to comment

Guy Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Ditto on nanoreefers reply for the plant and aquarium bulb. I didn't see any benefit as far as coraline but plenty of unwanted growth and the negatives as far as nuisance algae growth far outweigh any positives. The sylvania ultra daylight 6500K is a nice bulb and I continue to use that one on 2 of my tanks. Guy Link to comment
