Fuge Lighting Question
I plan to run my Coralife Mini (9"T5 bulbs) over my fuge. I can't find bulbs for this anywhere online - well at least not at any of my frequented aquatics stores. Would bulbs from Lowes work fine?

No you wwon't find T5 bulbs there, the T8 and T12 bulbs they may will not work at least for long because the ballist will be wrong for that type of bulb. I suggest replacing it with a CFL and a cheap light reflector from Lowe's

My only other option that I see is to just use 2x10,000K bulbs, which definitely isn't what I want, but hopefully will do alright.
