That looked pretty good too for a non-actinic high blue bulb. It was probably closer to 22K though than 20K.
Anyway, I bring it up because you only have 4 bulbs to play with and if it were me I would want to maximize PAR out of the 4 bulbs. Putting in 2 actinics cuts your PAR virtually right in half immediately leaving you with just two T5 grow lights.
edit: I'm not sure how much PAR the fiji puts out as I don't have much experience or research on them. I had them over my tank once and hated the fiji purple so never used them again. |
Yap. That's why no actinic...Blue+ only
