Exactly. Plus desk lamps come with a switch

I'm thinking one will be sufficient for low-medium tech setup e.g, low-med lighting, unfertilized substrate, possibly DIY or excel. But two would mean you'd need fertilized substrate, heavy CO2 and liquid ferts to keep algae at bay. I'd by two, use only one at the start and build it up. HTH

yes

They ran out of the cheaper ones (blue and red box) in bayonet so I had to get Philips. Much brighter, definitely worth the extra $2. 6500k is spot on, look for Cool Daylight (Blue strip?) on the front of their box.

:-? I purchased 2x cool white tubes rated 4100k and 2x cool daylight tubes rated 6500k, maybe Philips has it wrong.
-
:-? Not where I shop. Cool Daylight is 6500k here. They do say on the box "Equivalent to a 100w incandescent!"
-
Dimensions? 1x energy saver was sufficient for my 40L x 25W x 27H cm tank.
-
The 24w of light is as intense as the 100w bulb they were designed to replace. 2x 24watt is supposed to be equivalent to 100w of incandescent light so you're sweet as.

Want They eat plants though aye? Any good in breeding tanks?
-
Cool daylight is what you're after, 6500k. Cool white is 4000k(ish) and warm white is around 2500k. I have two Cool Daylight in my room and one regular, I reckon it's wicked and want to replace the regular too.

Past two days maybe? Algae before that. None that I can pull up, no. It's just a phase according to P44 8)

:lol: No kidding, it sucks but waiting it out seems to be the only thing I can do right now.

Only 16.7%? :-?

I'll stop complaining then, I was just looking for a bit of advice. It's fine, I don't mind waiting. Just keen to know what I can do to make this algae go as fast as possible. It doesn't seem to be harming the plants but it's not too attractive at the moment.

Too much information!

Too generous. Send them up with the killies and riccia?

Millilitres per teaspoon for PMDD? Adding more plants isn't an option, this is all I have really
-
They're growing pretty fast and I don't have any more stems, this is pretty much it for me in terms of planted tanks Apart from daily 10L water changes, reduced feeding and a shorter photoperiod, is there anything else I should be doing? Yes or no on the PMDD?
