Coralife labels them as daylight 10,000k

Yup. No worries.
My sunglasses are HD. Not sure if it’s 1920x108o pixels or 720x1080.

@saltyfilmfolks will those fixtures work for him?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

It’s a pretty bulb. A good one to use to buld the base kelvin.
Adding a warmer one or grow light will help the plants.

 

[Katrina71]

I say yes, but if I'm wrong...tell me and explain why please.

Yes.

@saltyfilmfolks when I visit California, can you have flashcards to explain lighting to me better? I promise to buy the drinks.

Yes plants/ algae prefer the more yellow light. Hence grow lights being more yellow

 

[Katrina71]

@yungreefer2410 can you make flashcards? Lol. I'm old. It may take 2 of y'all. Lighting is my most challenging topic.

You are welcome anytime! Thank you for helping out.

I was thinking two corallife for color of fish and the two grow lights for macro. I was afraid of too much yellow. My fresh water looks good with the grow lights.

Absolutely. I actually give a class.
It’s at a bar.
Conveniently. :)

Coral light needs.

Green plant light needs.

This is 6500k (56k is almost completely even “full spectrum”

This illustrates why and daylight bulb between 4,000 and 10,000 will grow coral. It contains all the colors coral and plants need.
Visually it may not suit your personal tastes.

A myth buster note ,
algae and plants NEED blue light. (Sky blue , ocean blue , evolution)
