10k and 14k lighting

[mopar9012]

im trying to decide what lights i want. I know i dont want 20 k lighting. So could i get some pics of tanks with 10k or 14k lighting? thanks

Can't give you shots of the tanks I work on, but definitely deeefinitely prefer 14k.

i was thinking that i would like 14 k a lot better too. But i would just like to compare the two before i go and spend money on lights.

I like 10k better with actinics, but as for the look of a tank with a single bulb, always go with 14k.

14000K for color.. 10000K will make them grow more though!!
depends on if you want color or growth!
I have 14000K HQI and all my corals GLOW all day long!

the lower the "K" the higher the par. like 5500, 6500, and 1000k have really great pre but yellow and white color, but the 14k if a blueish color and doesent have the best par but can still crow the corals u want and 20k is a dark blue and less par than anything but since its so intence light u can still grow sps and clams higher up
