why do you say this? is there something wrong with using a daylight bulb at 6500K?

personally I would stay away from anything under 5000K if you goal is to grow plants/algae ect.. super store has some power compacts that screw into a regular light socket on for 5 bucks each and they are a true day light spectrum of 6500K and would be awesome for a sump or something.

Steve you are probably right, I always thought a lower Kelvin rating is better for growing algae in the sump or refug
