      well its more of a "is it gonna hurt anything" type deal. I know its not for a visual appearance. just wondering if its cool for a few weeks till i get the bulbs i want.

      and its just a fowlr tank

        I would go much higher k with that 4100k. The 6500k is already pretty low. The issue isn't with fish, its with algae before damage to corals.

              Should be good, just get them on a timer.

                Should be fine. Lighting for a fowlr tank is really not as important as with a reef. Get the color spectrum that pleases your eyes and gives your tank the look you are going for. Some lamps will also help the colors in your fish pop.

                what fish do you have?
