kenschickjah Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hey guys, I have a couple unused old reptile lights and I was wondering if anyone could tell me their kelvin or if they are able to be used for a reef setup? One of them is a Spiralux Compact Fluorescent Bulb and the other is a 100 watt zoo med halogen bulb. I would like to use these bulbs because I have several single socket bulb light fixtures and I would like to use them instead of having them kicking around. Thanks. Link to comment
evilc66 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 No. They are either far too low a kelvin color temp, or emmit far too much UV-B for them to be safe. Link to comment

gulfsurfer101 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Try getting rid of that junk on craigslist or a petshop heavy in reptiles and score a decent fixture. If your going to do a sw nano your goingto want to do it right or your just going to be tossing your money down the drain quite litterally. Take it from me the king of fools. I have to do everything wrong before I do it the right way. Link to comment
