aquadude Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 My 3ft tank has a homemade hood with a bayonet fitting I have done a 25% water change - the water has cleared but noticed the water has a yellow tinge to it - of course not noticable with the hood light off The bulb that I put in is a clear soft tone Is there a more "white" colour bulb with a bayonet cap more suitable on the market thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Try a 6500k or 865 energy saver. I'm running one on my hair grass tank and it has no yellow to it at all. Comes in screw in and bayonet from Mitre10(Mega)/Bunnings. Quite cheap too. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishybiz Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 We find Osram cool white the best. The ones from Bunnings don't last very long. Colour 860 or 865. Get ours from Rexel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
