anyone has any idea if there are 1ft T5 light available?
if not, any good 1 ft PL light for my planted cube?
tks!
If I'm not wrong, there are T4 tubes. These should suit the length you're looking for. You could also pop by Nature Aquarium(opp. Thomson Medical Centre), they've got an 18W(2 x 9W)PL light set that you can use. Although I would suggest you switch out the lights to 2 x 13W instead. I find the lights, as they are(2 x 9W), aren't really adequate.
Has anyone seen a 36W PL light set for use on a 1ft cube before?
Call me Brian.
P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
thks! is the set u mentioned a fixed position hood or a flexible neck kind? qot some examples? wat brand?Originally Posted by brianclaw
btw, is 26 w too much for a 1 ft cube?
It's a fixed light set, not a clip-on lamp. It think it's an Ocean Free set, if I'm not wrong. Sorry, no pics.
I don't think 26W is too much for a 1ft cube, I've seen 1ft cubes with a lot more light than that... I think the highest I've seen is one with 108W(3 x 36W).

tks Brian! I went down to NA and got myself the 1ft 2x9w set u mention. Pretty neat set. decided to keep to 2x9w for the time being as i dun wana boil my shrimps & my plants are not v. high light demand. Somemore the cube is meant to be low maintenance....ie non-co2 & no fan/chiller.It's a fixed light set, not a clip-on lamp. It think it's an Ocean Free set, if I'm not wrong. Sorry, no pics.

Bros, you got a picture of how the 2 x 9 W looks like?
