NanoNewbie16 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I currently have an incandescent light fixture on my fresh water tank which i will shorlty be converting to salt. One of my major problems is lighting. Will this light bulb be fine if i want to keep soft corals, live rock, inverts, crabs, snails, and one fish. http://www.petmeister.com/item1873.htm Link to comment
wetworx101 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yes, this will work, but at such a low wattage you would have to use at least 3 of them. petsolutions.com has them for $9 I believe. So you might pay more than you intended just to get nice lighting. IMO getting a pair of larger bulbs would be better. Link to comment
NanoNewbie16 Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 Do you have any idea of what kind of lighting system i should use if i have a 16" long tank and its prob about 10" wide, also its a 5g. I'm completely stuck b/c i cant find any 16" PC light fixtures.If you know where to get a light system that would fit my tank plz let me know. Thanks. Link to comment
DarkDevil Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 the CSL 32W smart light is 14" and the 36W is 16", check out hellolights.com Link to comment
NanoNewbie16 Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Devil i cant find the light your talking about at hellolights.com. Link to comment
DarkDevil Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 well, what I mean is, the 28/32W PC lights are 12" or 14" w/ reflector, and 36W PC lights are 16" or 18" w/reflector, and you can get those anywhere you want, which you can find similar setup at hellolights.com, they sell some retrofit kits or DIY kits, just pick any which suit your application Link to comment
NanoNewbie16 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 I have changed plans completely just because of lighting. I am going to get a 5 gallon mini bow witha a CSL 32w smart light. But thanks for everything guys. If there is any info you guys want to give me about minbows then that would help me a lot too.
