Currently being evil (making plans to build my own aquarium light with LED tubes)

#was originally thinking of using dichroic LEDs with i'd have to have so many for the lumens i need #so instead i can just get three 800lm led tubes and have 33lm/lt which is a pretty good range #rn i'm planning on having two 6500k tubes #for the third tube i can't decide whether i want a grow light or just a 4000k led tube #worried about either going overboard on the blue range of color or not having enough red range #having the grow light for the red range would probably be best? #better to have too much than not enough #i think #i have some plants that need some red range so that'd probably be wise #hww decisions #i guess if it doesn't work out i can just resell the tube and get a 4000k one #yeah that's a good plan good thinking me #hey if you've read the tags this far down you should say something like #hmm #the funny aquarium man #yeah that #that sounds reasonable without being something mean #kinda concerned about algae with the grow light but not suuuper concerned since i was thinking of getting nerite snails anyway
