Bobalouy Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I thought it would be nice to have alittle pico lighting discussion. Maybe list the type of lighting you have used, and size of the tank. I saw a small desk lamp at Joan Ann Fabrics today, the buld was the perfect size for my tank, it was a $30 light on clearance for $9. I think it was 13w and put out 6,500k, would this be enough for a 1gallon? Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 the 13W part would be ok but you prob will want to swap out that 65K bulb for somethin better.... Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Looking online it looks like the same bulb used on the Red Sea Deco Art Aqualight. Link to comment
Funky_Fish14 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'd go for it, but maybe switch the bulb out to 10K. Or grab 2 and get a 10K and an actinic. Chris Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Well the only thing is its just a desk light so I dont know if I can find a 10k that will fit it. Do they make a 10 for the Deco Art? Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 well I know you can get 50/50 and I think I seen 10K but can't remember try lookin at hellolights.com or Dr foster & smith ?? I was going to do the same thing on my pico but got the coralife 2 X 9W instead.... Link to comment
neanderthalman Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I've got a 10W Coralife 50/50 PC that fits pretty much anywhere a classic incandescent aquarium bulb fits. Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Lot of good bulbs. - 28w quad (small kelvin rating selection though) - 10w/20w Coralife screw-ins - 13w PC - 9w PC - 7w PC (I have 2 7w actinic bulbs if you can beleive it) Link to comment
