6500k or 14000k?

I have 10 1watt 6500k leds and 8 royal blue leds right now for my sexy tank so my question is should I change the white leds to 14000k for the better color? or leave them at 6500k for better growth?

 

no one?

 

The sexy tank is 5.5 gallons for sexy shrimp that you will add zoanthid species to I believe?

if so it more personal preference relating to tanks appearance
the 6500K may look a bit yellow for me, but combined with the royal blues, it could give a nice general colour

the growth/ coral coloration aspects are more important with SPS corals IME
So for a tank with zoanthids and inverts, its more a matter of what you like to look at in terms of color

well i really want they best colors I can get out of the zoas and the sexys. another thing is that I would have to buy the 14000k leds wich would take like 3 weeks to get here because they would be coming from china. but the leds don't look as yellow as you think. I will post a picture later to try to show how they look but not sure if you will be able to tell. I could also probably get 20000k leds too if i wanted.

 

For best colors, fo with 20k LED..But on the other hand, you wont get as good growth..I would personally go with 14k.

 

well I could go with like 7 20's and 3 65's or any variation of them that equal 10
