I just got in my Custom Sealife PC (w/ moonlight) for my 29 gallon tank. I just started co2 injection also and some fertilizing. My question is with the light. It has 2 bulbs in it each 65W. I bought 1 6700K bulb for it. The other bulb I have installed is a 10,000K. I have been using the 6700K for 12 hours and the 10,000K for like 5 to simulate direct sunlight. Should I:

1. Continue like this
2. Just use the 6700K by itself
3. Get rid of the 10000K and get another 6700K and leave it on

All plants are low light plants like anubus etc but I wanted the extra light to broaden what I can use. What do you guys think would be the best. I did a search but couldn't really find the answer.

since you have low light slow growing plants, i would recommend removing the 10k bulb completely and using the 6700k alone.

if you want to plant some high light plants later on, i would get another 6700k.
