Yes. I have the coral life 6,700 and 10,000 and they make the plants and fish look amazing.

Check the website pricing before ordering if you are talking about fixtures. The price differential can be substantial if you can get a 10% off code from the internet and free shipping.

Here is a link I found helpful: Common Aquarium Plants

When you purchase the bulb(s) check the colored graph on the side of the box and get the ones where the green spike is lower.
