    Schalk your growlux spectrum looks fine peaking at about 420nm and 670nm and it is called the PAM. This is what plants use for growth,the rest in the spectrum
    is useless to plants. 10000K tubes is mainly used so it would look nice to you. Certain algae need higher or lower spectrum light to grow but if your light falls in the right spectrum
    your plants will outcompete them for resources.
