ceten plants grow better under different kelvins of light. ie corals grow better around 10000 kelvin but are more colorful @ 20000 kelvin and chato grows best at a more lellow light. what type of bulb are you using and what size is your fuge going to be

i don't mean to intrude on this post, but I also am starting a fuge. My sump came with a set of mini pc's (2x13w 10k). Do you think that will be fine in my 20/30 gallon sump?
