Refugium Bulb???
Okay I need some more advice…I am looking at refugium lights and I am stuck between two bulbs. One is 5100K and the other is 6500K. Links below. Melevsreef.com recommends the 5100K but I have read a few times that 6500K is better. What one should I go for?

I just put a par 30 5000 or 5100k led over my chaeto. Only been a week or so, but I thinks the chaeto likes it.
