Is this a good combination (T5)?

[Achilles1]

This Sunday I accidentally walked in a garden centre and saw that there was a 50% discount on aquarium lights. They were almost sold out but I just managed to acquire a Arcadia original Tropical pro bulb (T5, 39W) and an Arcadia Freshwater pro bulb. The Tropical is 4500 K and the Freshwater 6600 K.

I can place two bulbs in my tank and was wondering if this is a good combination? And if so, which one should I put on the front side? Thank you in advance.

Lighting is very personal...if you like it, it's good for your tank. Th 4500K will bring out the yellow (green) and the 6600K will be good to bring out the colour of fish that have some blue (not all).

Thank you for your answer. But will they be good for my plants? Or does it not really matter when the other conditions (Co2, nutrients, flow etc) are good?

If CO2, flow, nutrients etc are good, lights will be good too...unless you have a 800 liter tank andor hang your lights 100cm above your tank
