Hey guys,
I'm hoping for some help with a lighting question I have. There are 4 aquariums in my office and three of them (2 10-gallon and 1 20-gallon) have the regular hood and light with the fluorescent 4,200K 15W bulbs. The smallest tank however (6-gallons) has a mini compact fluorescent bulb and the plants in that tank are doing MUCH better than the other tanks. I want to change the bulbs in the three bigger tanks but the hoods themselves are made for the long fluorescent style bulbs and have nothing to screw the mini compacts into as the long bulbs just slide into the slots and don't screw in. Help?
