Power compact bulbs looses their PAR intensity after ~5months of use

Now I have head from several Aquarists that PC bulbs last almost a year before the PAR looses to much intensity. I thought that was the big debate between PC's and NO Florecents, and the size of course.

Ok here's the deal:

 

1) I don't have any camera in any shape or form.

 

So I have to resort to using pics I picked up on the net. None of the pictures above are of any of my actual live stock.

 

I just noticed that noone responds to posts without the little paperclip sign, so I provide a little eye candy and boom 100 replies.

I hate to tell you but the C-4000 is a piece of crap. It doesn't even take macros.

[OscarBeast]

Hehe I am just poking fun at you. I figured I should tell you before you freak out.

Growing fast? That's the main problem with clams, they grow FAST, one of the old puget sound clubmembers had a maxima he grew from a small clam, to a 18" monster, wont even fit in a nano tank.

 

Makes it hard to keep up with the ca/dkh demand too, water changes wont cut it on a nano with a clam, unless the clam is sick, or the water change is over 75 %

Once large enough they will need photosynthesis and will rely on it more than phyto, so if your clam gets big that'd be cool to see if it works.

[LiQuiD]

So hows the clam doing?

[Raise]

lol.

[Acoustic]

The clam is now sold to a friend with a metal halide lit tank. It started to turn brown so I aired on the side of caution.

[Lunchbucket]

LOL - experiment didn't go like you planned huh.

 

i still think nothing but MH's for these guys
