This bulb came with retro fit compact T5 unit:
55w daylight deluxe, 6500k, 4650 lumens.
6500k is not my first choice, but no other bulbs available here in UK at the moment. I have 1200k to go with it, but will be replacing the 6500k when others are available.
I'm not sure it is aquarium specific - does it sound ok?

I'm using 2 65k's but balance the color out with and actinic and blue plus bulb. 65K is really yellow looking.

yeah, 6500k is yellow looking.
Do you know the lumens on your 6500k bulbs? I mainly want to check that it really is ok for my tank.
