My 46 FOWLR Oceanic tank comes with a T8 flourescent light. I guess it is just the normal kind. So, I purchased a Coralife 10K flourescent T12. I don't know the 2 bulb is of different diameter but fortunately, it fits into my hood ( comes with the tank). The distance between the 10K light bulb and the reflector is much closer now compare the original T8.
I just change it yesterday and immediately I found that it is not as bright as my original T8? It is defintely more blueish in color but less bright. Anyone know why this is the case? I thought it should be brighter. Should I change back to the original T8?
One reason I change the light is because I have a diatoms problem so I thought it might be my light.
