Giesmann aquaflora a little too pink?

Post by takadi »

Is anybody finding their aquaflora bulbs from last group order a little too pink? I didin't buy the middays but I did combine them with the supposedly 6700K bulbs that came with the light fixture I got from aquatraders. I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems a little too pink for my tastes

For me they look really good when combined with the middays which have a greenish tinge, otherwise they are pretty pink in color, but this is my first time buying giesmann's so I have no basis for comparison.

Same here. I use them with middays and they look great. The middays are a little blueish.

Ah okay. I don't have middays and am using the 6500K's that came with the fixture I bought from aquatraders. That may be why. I decided to buy an aquablue to counteract the pink color

Are you guys using half middays and half aquaflora?

Yep, me too. I use half aquafloras and half middays.
