Hello Guys

Any idea if 6500k and 600lumen bulb would be good for most plants? Wattage is around 10w and wattage equivalent to normal lights is 36w. I'm planning a tank with dwarf Sagittaria, bolbitis ferns, regular ferns, HM and dhg. Will this light suffice the growth and requirements of these plants? Please advise. The tank that I would be looking at is a 3'x 2'x2'. I'm planing for two of these bulb. They're pretty bright I'm using them for domestic purposes.

Cheers,

Karthik

Thanks Rajiv ji. Ya height is about 2ft. Let's I'll probably have good elevation of the substrate or reduce water height. I want to save electricity hence the decision

and also wanted to save cash

Yes, Syed bhai.. Will be using three bulbs, with a DIY top stand. Let's see how good or bad it turns out to be.
