bugsy Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Hi all I am going to be getting (two) coralife mini power compact 50/50 bulbs. Should I get the 10's or the 20's? My tank is a 10 gal. I plan on having someday a few mushrooms and more live rock. I do have a couple of fish in there but don't plan on spending huge amounts of money on corals for this tank. I would like to get a few of the easy ones that don't require special lighting. Thanks bugsy Link to comment
digitallinx Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 go with the 20's, the more the better....you can probably find them at the same price as the tens anyway. http://www.thatpetplace.com/MainPro/itemdy...047+0868&PgNo=2 Link to comment
bugsy Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 Does anyone know about how long these mini compacts last for? Link to comment
Scorched Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 You can use them for over a year before they slowly dim. Go with the 20s, same price as 10s Link to comment
bugsy Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 I would love to. Living in Canada does have disadvantages for some things. Ordering from the USA is very costly. The prices here in Canada are crazy too. 10watt is 12.99 CDN 20 watt is 19.99 CDN Then add on the shipping and I have $40.00-50.00 for two bulbs This is only one place I have found so far in Canada. Our local LFS is selling the 20 watt for 27.00 CDN now that would not be to bad if i could get away with one of them or be able to add a regular 15 watt fluoresent on the other side. This is frusterating and I should have never gotten into this mess in the first place, my stupidity and fault :*( Link to comment
Scorched Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I dont know if this helps but I got mine from here, $12 US each and ground shipping was around $5. http://j.tonn.tripod.com/specialitybulbs3.html Link to comment
