    Has anyone tried the 3500K Bright white with hint of blue..This is what i use over my Fresh water . I had Plants ,,my texas destryed them..This bulb let em grow right back nicely...Unfortunatly i have no pic with plants because i decided to not buy them for my fishes amusement..

    So ill let you see what it looks like compared to a 6500K

    The Box to look for @ Lowes is Light Blue not Dark Blue..This bulb actually resembles a 12k not 3500K.

    Heres an example of one 13w No reflector(60watt in normal bulb)
    3500K. A reflector will be even more appealing on this bulb and plants Algee's like it to.

    I dont care for yellow PC bulbs and have found the 3500K seems to be alot brighter and does not even look light 3500K but more so a 12K.
