Just curious I have a 40 long tank 48x12. I was looking at a fixture with a 10000k bulb and a antinic would this be too much for.a cichlid tank?

I would think so if you ask me.

Thanks everyone just wanted to make sure

Two 40watt bulbs will grow alot of algae but the 10K bulb is just the color temp of the light. It is a real white light. The 03 Actinic is a blue bulb made for saltwater corals. It won't grow much algae in your freshwater tanks, it will help the color of your fish alittle but not that much.

Thanks for the info what I have right now is a 30' PC 10000k bulb at 65 Watts would algea. Be a problem?

One 65 watt bulb shouldn't be that bad. Try and keep your light cycle to about 8 hours.

Will do thank you.

Picked up a solarmax ho dual t5 fixture with 8 led moon lights ans wanna replace the bulbs soon . What do you recommend I get for best lighting ? I have. 2 yellow labs, 1 ace I and a jewel cichlid. Currently the fixture has 10000k and a antinic bulb

Would I be better off changing to a 6500 bulb or stay with the 10000k? I'm guessing 6500 would be better due to less algea?

They will both grow algae. Its really choice from here on out. If your not growing plants or coral that light should be fine.

OK thank you.
