planted tank'
The fixture is fine but you can not use a regular bulb
replace it with a plant bulb usually around 6700 k the ph is a little high, not too bad. |

I had very good results with the clamp on shop lights too. 6500l grow bulbs. They're pretty big and look blueish. The t8s are hard to find in 48". I have a guy i order bulbs from ill see if he has them

bulbs
t8 and t12 ARE PRETTY MUCH INTERCHANGABLE if they are the same watts and fit in the fixture
t12 being bigger at 1 1/2" and t8 being 1" also there are rapid start and instant start you can not switch those just read the ballast |
