T8 Lights

tthayer · 02/17/2009, 07:49 AM

Hi All,

I have a couple of old T8 ballasts that I used to use on my earlier tanks and noticed on one of the sites that there appears to be bulbs that will be decent enough. Actinics and 10000K T8 bulbs by Coralife. Has anyone used these and have they been effective on a tank with a 24 inch depth?

Thanks

24" is pretty deep... Definitely not enough light there to penetrate that depth.
