I have a 4 bulb Current Nova fixture, do I buy 54w bulbs for it??
Someone gave me this fixture. I am not sure what to replace the bulbs with,54w's or 39w's? I would like to replace the two actinic bulbs. They are very dim and atleast 6 months old.

I like Premium aquatics.
Foster and Smith are good for longer bulbs and things like salt because of their shipping prices. |

if they are dim, look to see if they are 420nm bulbs. they will appear to be dim due to the color spectrum. nothing to worry about
