Hi guys

I'm setting up a new tank
120 x 60 x 50cm
I want red plants to be bright red...
what lights should I use?

thanks
 
Hi,
Red or pink lights will accentuate the reds/pinks in plants. Grolux or Interpet Tri-Plus are pink bulbs. Generic bulbs which have a low Kelvin rating (4000K or below) should emit near red wavelengths, however the K ratings of bulbs have lost their fidelity. If you use too many of these bulbs though the tank tends to look dim and eerie.

Cheers,
