Question about Coralife lights?

[AnDr3w]

This is the bulb I want to get. http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsU...0/coralifecolormaxfreshwaterfluorescentlamp48

Can I just buy that buld and stick it into my stock fixture I bought with the tank?

Or does it need a whole fixture that I have to buy to go in?

Please help me!

A standard fluorescent fixture will work fine with that bulb.

always worked for me.

Oh ok thanks! Would that work for plants as well?

 

[WyldFya]

Depends on the plants.

 

[AnDr3w]

A few anubias nana, and amazon swords. There will be more plants put in, but thats it for now.

[rallysman]

is your current fixture T5, T-8, or T12. Also (maybe I missed it) but what size is that bulb?

 

[WyldFya]

For anubias species and amazon swords, that light will be fine. It looks to be a T12 or T8 bulb.

My "fixture" on the tank right now is the stock on bulb that I got with the tank. So I dont really know about T5, 8, or 12?
