Hi All,

Can you guys recommend me a good MH 70W Light bulb for planted tank use? Use it for growing glosso for a 2 ft tank!

Where to buy the light bulb? Not ADA light bulb As Im not effort to buy it!

Thanks!
Regards,
Danny

The closest thing to ADA bulb is OSRAM. But afterwhile..it becomes orangey. I am saying this because I am so used to my ADA bulbs. There are not many brands out there who cater for the plant needs. The color band is never close to what plant needs. I have not data to back it up. Conclusion, ADA closest follow by Osram

do u really need 70W to grow glosso in 2ft tank? i grow my glosso in >2ft depth using only T5 54w. Use 55w PL is more than enough to do the job well if your tank is 2ft tank.

Here's the pic.
