I run the 6500k for grow out then a week or two with some blue light to bring the color back out... the 6500k really does well with growth.
You all will like the set up.. I drilled some holes in it to dissapate the ehat but it really doesn't get that hot.. Looking back I don't think I should have drilled it... but it doens't hurt anything.
I just set mine right ontop of a glass refugium over.

That's kinda what I do...but the only thing that really takes off is the algae in the fuge. How deep is your growout tank and how far from the surface of the water is the LOA placed?
