Just purchased the Coralife 24" 4 bulb light fixture I'm just wondering if any other bulb will fit in it or do I have to purchase the Coralife ones?

any brand t5 24" will work. As long as the length and wattage are the same.

They should be the same as any other. They have the double pins on the end, right? The only bad thing would be if they did a wattage that the other manufacturers dont do.

It's 24 watts per bulb

If it is a 24 watt bulb then other 24 watt bulbs will fit it. Please double check on this. I made a mistake with a coralife unit that runs an odd wattage of bulb that only coralife makes. Rather than double checking I ordered new bulbs that would have fit if it was any other T5HO unit. The bulbs are making a wonderful addition to the pile of junk I have at my house since I can't currently use them.

Then any 24 watt bulb will fit. I was going to run 2 blue+, an aquablue special, and a fiji purple in my 4 bulb T5HO. I like a more blue tint to my tank. They and other bulbs that will fit your unit can be checked out on bulkreefsupply.
