    Fluval C-Series and Quantum Aquatics T6 bulbs

    I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Fluval C-Series HOBs. From what I have seen online, they seem to be the most awesome HOB ever made. The price is also unbelievably low as well. Also wondering if anyone has tried the Quantum Aquatics T6 bulbs. Not much information is...

    Finding HE(NO) bulbs

    I'm having a very hard time finding T5-HE or NO replacement bulbs. I've been to Zoomeds site, and all their T5's seem to be HO. Any standard NO bulbs are T8's. I've yet to find a site that offers T5-HE/NO bulbs! Did I make a mistake buying a T5-HE fixture? :wacko:

    Deep Blue High Efficiency Replacement bulbs

    I bought a Deep Blue SolarMax High Efficiency 30" light strip. Does anyone sell replacement bulbs? Is High Efficiency just a fancy name for normal output?

    Actinic bulbs and plants

    I just got a fabulous light -- a Coralife High Output T5 Lunar Aqualight -- for my planted peacock tank. I replaced the two 10K bulbs with 6K bulbs. I kept the two actinic bulbs to use as moonlights. Question -- is there any reason to leave the actinics on during the day with the 6Ks? Do they...

    So how are those Sealife 65W/96W bulbs working out from the impromptu group buy?

    No one has sent me any snarky messages but as that could be on account of politeness I thought I'd ask.

    Which T5HO bulbs should I use?

    I am converting a planted tank to a cryptoheros tank. I won't be planting it. Right now, unplanted, when I turn on the lights everything in the tank hides from the 31watt 6700 and 10000k bulbs that are in there. For reasons I won't go into I have a couple of color max bulbs, more of these two...

    Time to buy new bulbs

    My T5 and regular fluorescent fixtures need new bulbs. When I look on-line there is a bewildering array of choices. My tanks are all fish-only. Should I just go with the bulbs that offer to bring out the best colors in the fish or what about 10K daylight bulbs and such?

    50/50 bulbs for Plants?

    I think I read somewhere that 50/50 or blue actinic bulbs don't help with plants at all. All my fixtures have 10K and actinic bulbs. I like the looks of mixed lighting. But should I even turn the blue bulbs on during the day? If the blue bulbs do nothing for plants, then I am wasting energy...

    Fish Only Keepers - Anyone Need Used 48" Flourescent Bulbs?

    I have been trying mostly unsuccessfully to keep plants with my cichlids and have been replacing the bulbs over my tank every 6 months. I have four 48" T-12 40w tubes that have a lot of life left in them but are no longer good for plants. Nothing special, Philips 6500k bulbs from Home Depot...
