lighting???

'plant enhancer bulb'.....what is that?
I think it's a bunch of words that they put on some bulb boxes to sell bulbs.
But if your question is, is it OK to mix and match bulbs of different K ratings, the answer is yes.
The K rating relates to the way a plant or the tank itself will look to your eye or mine.
The lower the rating (ie. 2300K) the more green/yellow, the higher the rating (ie. 9350K) the more blue/white. Somewhere in between lies the 'full spectrum' (6700K) bulb.

Plant enhancer, a bulb within a specific K (18000) that maximizes photosynthesis.
On mixing and matching the bulbs, will two different bulbs give the aquarium a weird lighting look?
