KP Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 They are all good, just get a 'marine bulb' from your lfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 If you're using it for marine... if freshwater talk to your local electrical wholesaler about ordering in some 5200-6500K bulbs. You'l have to rig up a way to mount this over your tank - either hanging from the ceiling of built into a light hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
