jewels Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 This experiment did not go well because the lights really sucked. . Poor lights can take months to kill a tank full You took a month to fill a tank full. What is the wattage on the CFL's? Hard to trust those guys - the "daylight 6500" bulbs eventually admit they are actually 3500K if you read the fine print long enough. Stay curious , I like reading about your adventures! :ml: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceturf Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hard to trust those guys - the "daylight 6500" bulbs eventually admit they are actually 3500K if you read the fine print long enough. Where did you read this? I've found that the cheapo daylight bulbs may be less efficient, but they do project the correct rays for plants. ..?

Where did you read this? Directly off the package that was from this series I've found that the cheapo daylight bulbs may be less efficient, but they do project the correct rays for plants. ..? That is a subject best argued by scholars - I would say the difference extends beyond price One is a 6500K and the other turned out to be a 3500K These were both sold as ' daylight ' bulbs - which in its self is a crock; as daylight around here is closer to 5500K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
