    I`m looking at this light:
    http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=144

    but the only bulbs they have for freshwater are 12 000K. Isn`t that kinda high? Is my tank gonna look blue?

    And, is this light overkill for a 33 gallon? I would like to have more variety in what I can grow but really not looking to grow red cobomba or anything.

    Thanks.

    Re: lighting

    I use a Coralife 2 x 65 watt 6,700 K light on my planted 20 gallon tank. CO2 is being injected and everything is fllourishing. So I don't think 3 watts per gallon (96/33) is too much, in fact it may not be enough if you are also injecting CO2. 10,000 is great for reef tanks but, IMO, 6,700 is much better for planted tanks.

    Please be careful. Go to reefcentral.com and search under aquatraders. Make up your own mind after reading the threads....

    Re: lighting

    I have 2 fixtures from them. Both work great. One bulb was broken but I was changing it anyway. Shipping takes longer than most places though. for the price, you cant beat them.
