    Hi Guys,

    I am looking to build a tank again, I am building it bit by bit.

    Tank specs:
    60x45x45cm
    High tech​

    I am currently looking at the lighting, and I am something similar to this, but at 6500k:
    https://makelight.co.za/collections/frontpage/products/60w-grow-light

    After contacting them they said they can customize it, essentially they will do it to match 6500k. Should I have them throw in some red along with the coolwhite and blue?

    Any thoughts?

    Unless you plan on growing weed, I think you need to do a bit more research on blue vs red ratio.
