Alright I have a 10 gallon tank and my hood can only store bulbs not the long bulbs the short ones. I have lots of plants in my tank and I used a 60 watt spiral bulb,but I wanted to buy a light especially for plants because some plants were dying and I was growing lots of algae. The guy at the store toldd me to buy Reef Sun 50/50/10watt,6500K Trichromatic Daylight 420 Phosphor bulbs. Will this still feed my Plants and let them flourish?
Heres a link to what they look like
Zoo Med Reef Sun 50/50 Compact Fluorescent Bulb at PETCO
Even though this is for reefs will this bulb do a better job than a house hold daylight bulb?
