Lighting for CHAETO

[Fuzzy Yarbles]

I have a 20 gal fuge with little flow and 2x36 watt PC lights. One 6700k bulb and a 50/50 bulb. Now i am thinking that i should change out the 50/50 to either a 10000 k daylight bulb or a another 6700k bulb?

Your Thoughts...

Hows the cheato growing? I would try to increase flow first. The lighting seems sufficient.

I agree, the lighting should be fine. On your next round of replacing the bulbs you might consider getting just a 10,000K bulb, or two 6700K bulbs, since the actinic probably doesnt do a whole lot for the plants. But for now, its probably more than sufficient. I've had good growth from Chaetomorpha using just a 1x20watt NO bulb over a twenty gallon before.
