I bought a used Eclipse Hexagon 5 on Craigslist. The lightbulb that was in the hood when I bought it didn't work. The previous owner had included another bulb she said "might go to this tank" (she has a lot of fish and reptiles, I guess it's easy to get mixed up).
The second bulb was in a box that designated it as Marina 15 Watt aquarium bulb, so I pulled it out only to find it looked very different from the original bulb. While the original bulb was clear, this one was not.
I tried it and it worked. It ran warm and the light was red, and not very strong.
I'm wondering what kind of bulb this is, and if it's safe to use?
Thanks.
