Aquarium Advice Freak
I have had my 55 gal FW setup for 2 years now and have never changed the fluroescent light bulbs (at least i think they are fluroesecent- that take a few seconds, flicker, and then come on)
They came with my set-up when I bought it. If I remember correctly, the hoods and lights were expen$ive. I thought though, that I heard before that when your lights get "old" you should change them because they wear out and give off the wrong kind of light. Is this true? Why are there so many different kinds of lights? I dont have any live plants, but I'd like to give my aquarium the best lighting that doesnt promote algae at a reasonable cost. Suggestions?
