    Anyone can recommend where to get 6500K-8000K T5HO bulbs for 1.5ft fixture?
    I noticed most of the tubes are for 2ft or longer.

    I'm planning to replace my stock 12,000K 16W bulbs from Aquazonic. Thx

    In case anyone else also looking for 6500K T5HO for their 1.5ft tank, you can try the Odyssea 50cm 18Wx2 6500K T5HO. It can be used on 1.5ft tank & 2ft tank with extendable bracket.

    Hi, any idea if they sell the 6500K tubes for 3 ft tanks separately. I just switched to T5 yesterday, and am new to it. Thanks.

    I'm not sure, bro. But I think for such depth, it might not penetrate well. Maybe you need MH light?

    Anybody knows where I can get that Odyssey 50cm light set at the West area? I just tried PolyArt & C328 today but to no avail.

    Yup, comes with 6500K tubes. For 1.5ft tank, can use 50/65 (50cm extendable to 65cm)

    So I guess for those of us using the AquaZonic (& even the smaller Odyssey lights), we are out of luck? Since I believe till now most of us still couldn't find those 16W (for AquaZonic) FL tubes being sold individually...which is quite expensive, since every half a year we need to buy a new light-set just for the purpose of renewing our aged FL tubes...

    But hard to believe, since those manufacturers must get their tubes from somewhere right?
