Aquarium Lighting: Coralife Compact Fluorescent Straight Pin Bulbs

This you could get bulbs and a fixture.
I guess you could get one of the mini aqualights which are pretty good.

Also try nanotuners.com and nanocustoms.com

I have this over my 2.5g. The 50/50 light it comes with is perfect and the moon light looks awesome when it hits the filter flow. Also, the adjustable legs are an added bonus nanotuners

i guess they dont make 10k 18ws...i dont really want 50/50s right now...

An 18W 10K should be very easy to find - one of the most common bulbs out there.

i couldnt find it on hellolights which i thought was odd. lol i even tried ebay...

but they didnt have the 10k ones.

Anybody use one of these florescent energy saving light bulbs for their tank? One of the original incandescent bulb from my tank burnt out and I have a bunch of those energy saving ones laying around. Just wondering it would be ok to use those light bulbs (for a freshwater tank if that make any difference)? Thanks!

whats the size of the hood? but i think a 9w fits. just to make sure check the bulb that was in there before. if its a G23 then it should be fine.

your in the saltwater fish section....

for a freshwater tank u can use any light. but if u have live plants then u need something less then about 6500k temp.

dont use incandesent bulbs or enerygy saving spiral bulbs for reefs....
