New DIY Fuge Lighting
Recently upgraded my tank lighting to 250 watt from 175. Had brand new XM 10k bulbs kicking around so I figured I'd put them to use. I tried to put both of them on but just wasn't able to make space. Once I re-do my plumbing I will add the second one.
  I should be able to grow Cheato a big faster now eh...

well it will definitely grow faster, lol. But do you think the power consumption is worth it then going with a reg 60w bulb or something along those lines?

Most algae grows best in the 6500k range and lower. You might actually inhibit growth with that kind of lighting. Be a good place for frags though

Heh, I had a 10k Fresh Water Grow Light on there before. Tank has been running with Cheato since June and I have never pruned it. I'm gonna grow Xenia in there in the future as well. Lost my colony when my Nitrates spiked
