Its been nearly 3 months since I switched from 23W 6500K CF bulbs to 20W 4100K CF with built on reflectors and I've noticed a positive change in growth of my chaeto ball. Has anyone else tried 4100K vs 6500K and seen an increase in growth?

Another thing I've done differently is to maintain the ball a bit smaller and tear off chunks more frequently. ATM my ball is large/small enough to fill a 1 gal bucket if I remove it from the water.
