    The e-ballast for T5 and PL lights are different. Plus the clips size are different. You can do the following:

    1. Change the e-ballast and clips - you need to DIY or get the lighting/LFS shop to help you.

    2. Change the whole set.

    And please be reminded that T5 starts from 2ft.

    Re: noobie question about light tube

    I have a 2ft tank but the lighting fixture in the tank is only 1.5ft long. To what i know i'm using T8 tubes. Is there any way to upgrade or have to remove the whole fixture? Last question heat generated is it mostly based on wattage?
