showtime Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm wanting the best light for growing plants in my 4 ft tank and can get a good discount on Philips gear. Water depth is 35cm. Does anyone know if they produce good tubes for this? I've got (forgive spelling) Amazon sword, Barthi sword, Rotala, Rubera, Java moss, Lysacia hygrophilia difformis and various Cyrpts. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 are your lights fleuro tubes? If so just buy some 'coolwhite', 'brightwhite' or 'daylight' tubes. You want them to be around 6500ish kelvin. No need to buy fancy tubes as regular cheap ones are just as effective. You can find most of the above tubes from places like mitre10, bunnings or any lighting shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I am using Phillips Cool Daylight and have no trouble growing plants (as those who have received plenty of cuttings will attest ) We get ours from Mastertrade as we have an account there with discount as a trader.
