Excellent idea. I'm not sure what kind of photoperiod to run... More light,
but a deep tank, and no CO2. Maybe 10 hours with a 3 hour high intensity
mode? I have never had an algae problem in this tank and I don't want to get
one.

I'll probably stick with 6700K bulbs, Erik's comment on the mixing problem
was what I needed to hear. And I am happy with how they look, why change?
