help with my new bulb

okia42 · 03-31-2007, 06:09 PM

I just purchased a NUTRI GROW 18" 15 watt bulb. It seems that it is not as bright as my old GE Aqua Rays 25 watt bulb. I have a 20 gallon tank. Witch one do you think is going to work with plants. Any help is great.

This is my first post and my start at live plants.

neither one, IMO....I'd get a GE Sunshine bulb from Lowe's or Wally's for a bit over $6. They are full spectrum and 5000k, just what plants like.
