nu2salt Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I have a 12g nano setup for 2 months & doing great. I want to setup a standard 10g I have in a closet. Live sand & rock, most likely an invert tank. Maybe some little critters & such, no fish. On the tank comes a standard light fixture. Is there a particular bulb to put in the fixture(i think its 12" long)? I'm trying not spend a fortune on the tank. The nano broke me.. Any help would or suggestions would be great!!! Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 try one of the odd wttage bulbs like a 23 watt pc or somthing. a 55w is too long and anything above it is as well. BUT.... a 96w power quad will fit NICELY!! EDIT: OOPS sorry you said you were trying to keep the old fixture. forget the power quad then Link to comment
nu2salt Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 I don't have to keep it just trying to keep costs to a minimal & utilize what I already have. I still need to upgrade lighting on my 12g nano. Link to comment
gcrowptc Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 hmmm I have an 18k bulb on a 10g standard trying to remember the make cost like $12 @ pet supplies plus oh it is a hagen bulb, should work for what you are trying to do Link to comment
