travisurfer Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 the link to his pico says 10 Link to comment
brent-konieczny Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Whoa serious false advertising! The package said 100watt, (but until you got the bulb out and read the fine print) it's actually a 23w. I didnt think it looked 100w, but it is bright. It's just temporary to get my macro growing, but it actually has no heat issues and everything else is doing fine with it. My pico page is outdated by the way. Link to comment
Jigsaw Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 they probably meant 100 watts of incandescent lighting, a lot of boxes at hardware stores do this to make it look like it is a lot of wattage. Link to comment
neanderthalman Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I used to run a 10W 50/50 PC over my 1.6. Then, I noticed that all of my corals were stretching for light. I'd recommend upgrading to a 20W fixture if you could. just my 2¢ Link to comment
