Coralife Power Center

[MonopolyBag]

I got a coralife power center, and although I plan to use it on my salt water tank, I thought it would apply to many here, and plus, I feel people here on this forum are in general, smarter and more helpful than on others.

So here I go...

It states 10,000k plugs on the timer, but my light is 14,000k, should I not use that light on it? I thought "k" meant color of light, and what does a timer have to do with color of light?

I just do not want to ruin my timer or my light.

I'd just check that the wattage (or amps) of the outlet is proper for your lamps. They're probably just trying to make it easier to read for people buying their own (coralife) branded lamps.

O ok thanks. Anyone else agree?

Not a problem, it just reffers to the common color spectrum of aquarium bulbs. It doesn't matter if they are 5000k or 20000k.

Yeah, that just means the day light bulbs. 10,000k is the common color spectrum of the coralife white Power Compact. You can also use the black plug for anything you want on at night like a heater or night light. The power to the blue and the black plugs work conversely where when the blue is one the black is off and vice versus.

The color of the bulb doesn't matter. What matters is that you don't excede the maximun amperage.
