Color choice is up to you. I personally like blue's, so i always get 10K's and 460nm BLUE's instead of 03 actinics...or a combo of those 2.

But i will say dont buy that brand of bulb. Bought a few of em and the one that lasted the longest burned out in 3 months. I'm using the hellolights bulbs now (which people still say are cheapo ones) and they've been doing great on my tank for about 6 months...and now i need to replace them w/a new t5 fixture :)

jebo (which is also called Odyssea...same brand). Didnt know that nanotuners had their own brand bulb...i knew they made fixtures and stuff, and that they sold bulbs, but i figured it would just be other companies bulbs like coralife's and whatnot.
