Just wondering on different light bulbs for fish tanks
- Thread starter Britt20
- Start date
I don't believe these are fluorescent...most fluorescent are pin type.Britt20 said:
you 'll need to replace with a similar bulb. but it's not a big deal since the tank is not planted.
I also have these "screw-in" Incandescent bulbs in my 10gl tank. It outputs a clear yellow lights. We bought it from Petsmart and I hated it.
If anyone knows where I could get a replacement which puts out white (as flourescent white) or white/purple I would appreciate it.
Thanks

if your going to go with the plants that have roots then you should add more gravel. 2-3 inch is fine. i wouldnt go any less then 2 inch and over 3 inch just takes up more space.
basically like this. the ones i have seen around here been a little different.

So those bulbs that I replaced one of them is already burnt out and its only been about a month or two. I had to replace the one already so should I be looking at a different type of bulb or what can I do to make them last longer that a couple months?
they shouldnt have burned out yet. they say they last thousands of hours. i would take them back. maybe you got a bad batch.
i would have to look for the receipt and I dont have the packaging anymore. Got them from walmart.
