Turning On The Light?
I just heard part of a conversation that I found most interesting. It seems the two people talking were discussing Aquarium lighting and one suggested to the other that there was a better way to light an aquarium. It seems their thoughts centered on the idea of NOT using the standard fluorescent type fixture or cover but rather the use of Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs types that screw in like a light bulb in replacement of the tube type fixture. Their claims were simply this; cheaper to run with better over-all illumination, cheap to buy and better life span and also better for aquarium plants… Now I cannot remember seeing this discussion on list but I¢ve only been here a short time. Is any of this true? If so which part or parts? I have seen hoods for incandescent lights but they were all for small aquariums, 5 or 10 gallon. Is this what they are using and simply doubling up on the fixtures themselves to accommodate larger tanks? Bill
