I was at the LFS yesterday, and figured I'd try a new bulb for my tank. I got caught up in the description for the Zoo Med Flora Sun (emission spectrum matches absorption curve of chlorophyll-a...blah, blah). I had been using a T6 Aqua Flora Sun (my plant growth has been great) but I can't help but notice a huge difference in the lighting after switching to the Flora Sun - there's a distinct red hue now, and it doesn't seem nearly as bright as what I had in there. Now I'm afraid I shouldn't have switched.
Anyone use the Zoo Med lights? And can a light appear dimmer, but still be providing plants with what they need for good growth?
