in my 125 i have a power glo and an aqua glo, would having a flora glo bulb be betetr for the plants? would there be any significant growth to them?
 
You'd see a colour difference from the bulbs but it wouldn't make a difference to the plants. They don't care what kelvin rating it is.
 
Yes it will make a huge difference to the plant as different Kelvin ranges simulate different times at different regions in different parts of the world. For instance, a range that simulates the light of an afternoon at the equator. Every plant has a desired K range. A low light plant will pretty much easily adapt to any light conditions. The kelvin range will depend on what you want to grow or maintain efficiently. As you get into saltwater aquariums, K ranges become even more important.
 
Kelvin rating is not important to plants.
Spectrum is though (plants need blue and red peaks in the wavelengths). Any aquarium bulb will do.
Two very different things.
