I had some green dot stuff in my log tank with lower 6500k flouresent tubes also. I have not tried very many 10,000k lights.
Your tank looks so good.
This reminds me of your stuff a little, I see it online every now and then - a goldfish tank with a beautiful algae carpet on the bottom. Here's a link.

For some reason, lack of skill I suppose. I was having trouble using the new format,of the site. Mostly posting pictures, and having text deleted before saved...
These lasted for 2 years, on a air cooled aluminum heat sink. I used them on both tanks, and had Blue Green algea issues if left on too long, 50 watt 110 volt cobs, full spectrum. They grow potted plants nicely.
This fixture lost 2 leds, in June 2021, I replaced it with the same Led chip, but added some 110 volt 50 watt actinic, and 40 watts of "660nm 12 volt 10 watt diodes". I mounted them on a stainless steel tube, and circulate water, which cools the lights and heats the tank. At 340 watts, to about 230 gallons of water. It can overheat the aquarium if left on too long. It also has two older style 1 watt x 30 LEDs fixtures, Which are used when the algea growing lights are off.
