Anyone here use full spectrum lighting (6500k) with their 10,000k and actnics? If so how does it look? I've heard and read that using all three are as close as you can get to nature.

65k would look too yellow your going to have to do alot of actinic supplimentation so your tank water doesnt look like urine.(sorry its the only color i can describe it)

many people with 6-8 bulb t5 setups like to use one or 2 for added growth (higher par ) along with a couple 10k and the rest some form of actinic

close to nature at the surface of the water would be 6500K. the lower you get in the water, the higher the K will be. this is because the more blue light has a shorter wavelength and can penetrate water better.
what type of lighting are you looking into? no fluorescent, pc, t-5, halides?
