ask ko lang if ok ba 7500K sa coral growth? planning to have a mix reef sa 15 gallon nano with 10 gallon sump.. meron kasi akong fixture with 1pc 14Watt 10000K and 1pc Pink 14watt T5.. plano ko palitan ang pink ng T5HO 24Watt Actinic blue.. meron ako nakitang t5ho na isa for replacement sa 14watt na 10000k kaso yung color temp nung nakita ko nasa 7500k lang.. benifical parin ba to or mas maganda yung high kelvins? meron rin naka pag sabi malapit na kaibigan ok rin daw yung 6500k based sa experience nya.. meron rin naman sa net nag bebenta ng 7500k perfect raw for coral growth.. yun nababasa ko naman na iba is 10000K - 12000k so mga ka RP dyan based sa experience nyo sa t5's ano hinahalo nyo sa actinic? thanks

6500k okay talaga for growth sabi ng karamihan pero dahil nga "madilaw" sa mata yung nilalabas niyang kulay, nagiging brown yung itsura ng mga corals. 7500k is a good compromise, tapos dagdagan mo pa ng higher kelvin T5 gaya ng 12000k para lumabas yung iba pang kulay ng corals. :)

Pero kung ako, since sobrang babaw lang naman yung tank mo, kahit dalawang 15000k na T5 or 1 12000k plus 1 20000k mabilis pa rin dadami corals mo, given na okay yung parameters at may parabolic reflectors yung ilaw.

Or better yet, gawin mong hybrid (1 HO T5 with parabolic reflector + 5x3w blue LEDS) yung light setup mo kung kakayanin ng budget. :) Best of both worlds pa.
Cheers,
Marty

To clarify, kaya kadalasan sinasabing good for growth daw ang lower kelvin bulbs kasi kadalasan din mas malakas ang intensity nila kung ikukumpara sa mga higher kelvin bulbs... pero hindi lahat ng brands pare-parehas. Lalo na kung generic yung gagamitin mo. Kaya sa setup mo, okay pa rin kahit 2 higher kelvin bulbs. :)

Take note as well that the more you feed the corals - combined with good parameters, the faster they will grow. Lighting is just a part of the equation.
Cheers,
Marty

Thanks for the info.. pero meron kasi rin bad effects ang 6500 or below 10000K mabilis raw ang algae growth :D

Bro seth, pag sinabi bang "actinic" ilan ang kelvin rating nun? And yung higher kelvin rating ba is for aesthetic purpose lang?
