I was using a compact fluorescent that is between 4000k and 5000k. Since you posted it I realized that my bulb has been in for over a year and could use changing. I could not read the rating on the old bulb. Swapped it with a 5000k bulb, looks similar but a tiny bit more blue. Could be that the old one was having a spectrum shift and it definitely looked/smelled like it was on it's way out. It was growing chaeto macro algae just fine.

Thanks!! Also, does anyone have the o-ring silicon grease? I don't have anymore and I have the slowest leak probably bc of that.
