They are T5HO. I would rather find some way to get these light fixtures to work since they match my aquarium. I know I can get them attached if i need to use the smaller sockets but want to try to find something that would fit into the slots that are already there. I have already installed the...

Anyone? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I am having a terrible time trying to find some sockets that will replace the T12 sockets that were in my fixture. The ones I have are 1 1/4 inch wide and fit perfectly in place. All the t5 sockets that I find are 3/4 inch wide and will not fit the slot where the T12 socket was. Do they make...

So being newbie with aquariums and only having a limited knowledge with just a few years experience, I am trying to make sure that I have the correct knowledge base befor I go out and buy everything to set my tank back up. I plan on having a community planted tank and currently have 2 Marineland...

So I am setting up my 36Lx24Hx18w aquarium which has been stored in the garage for the last 2 years. It calculates to be a bit over 67 gal but I would guess that it's technically a 65 gal. I bought this tanks about 6 years ago for $100 and it came with 2 filters, stand, siphon, and other...

Hey everyone! My name is justin and I am a beginner aquarium enthusiast. I have had freshwater aquariums before but after moving 2 years ago I have never set it back up. I am moving back to my home town and hope to stay there as long as the new job works out. I want to set up my tank again and...
