Hello Everyone,


Have questions in mind.

I read from internet that there are relationships among the type of lightings used for aquarium, the colour temperature of light bulbs used for aquarium and algae growth in aquarium, but I'm not sure at all.

I would like to know if the type of lightings used for aquarium and the colour temperature of light bulbs used for aquarium would contribute to algae growth in a tank or not.

If it'd, what type of lighting would and wouldn't lead to algae growth, eg. aquarium store CFL, hardware store CFL, incandescent etc.? Similarly, if it'd, what colour temperature of light bulbs would and wouldn't lead to algae growth in a tank, eg. 2000 degrees K, 5500 degrees K, 9000 degrees K etc.?

I'm not too sure if you all would understand my questions, but I hope someone would and answer my concerns.

Thanks in advance.


All the bests to all your discuses,
