they're safe, sometimes they make the water a little cloudy for a day but I never had that problem.

Awesome! Hopefully I can find a bulb that wil work in my tank to give it the right light.

I forgot to mention that it like's deeper gravel and has a fairly large root system, so make sure the gravel around it is at least 2" deep or even 3" around the bulb.

Color temp...6500Kelvin

My lily grew fine under medium to low light and no substrate, just tied to a rock. I just splash a few drops of liquid fertilizer whenever I remember.

I accidentally broke it into smaller pieces during a water change. Now the pieces are floating around and sprouting.
