Definitions
of Fluorescent Bulbs
STANDARD LAMPS T-8 &
T-12
T-8 Bulbs - These
are the THIN or SKINNY bulbs measuring 1" in diameter. They
burn brighter than T-12 but are actually less wattage than the T-12 (i.e.
48" T-8 is 32 watts but a 48" T-12 is 40 watts), thus being
more energy efficient. These bulbs may not fire in all ballasts
but will fire very well in electronic ballasts.
T-12 Bulbs -
These are the FAT bulbs measuring 1.5" in diameter. These will
fire in every kind of fixture including non-electronic ballasts.
POWER COMPACT LAMPS
PC
Bulbs - Actually nothing more than a straight tube bent in half,
compact fluorescent lamps deliver a higher concentration of light
energy in a smaller space than standard-length tubes do. Their VHO
nature gives them the ability to deliver the right amount of lumens
in whatever color temperature (K=KELVINS) you choose. |
| There are four
main color temperatures available for power compact bulbs:
6700k daylight white-Plant
Bulbs 6700k daylight white bulbs are generally the brightest of all
the bulbs. The color of this bulb tends to be more of a
yellowish/white bulb. Plants thrive under this color temperature as
will corals
10000k daylight white 10000k
daylight white bulbs are more of a “crisp” white light with just a
hint of yellow. This bulb tends to be not quite as bright as the
6700k bulb, but can be more pleasing to the eye, especially if
actinic or blue lighting is not used.
50/50 Bulbs 6700k/10000k
combination bulb. The advantage to a bulb like this is you will get
the intensity of the 6700k side of the bulb, but also the more
desirable (visual look) of the 10000k bulb mixed into the bulb.
Actinic Actinic bulbs
tend to be more of a purplish/blue color. The Actinic 03 (420nm)
bulbs really help to fluoresce corals more than any other bulb. It
will help green, reds, blues, etc. to really jump out of corals and
all colorful fish. Bulbs can be all one color temperature, or they can have a mix of
colors to achieve a desired look. These mixed bulbs are generally
referred to as 50/50 bulbs. One tube will light up one color, while
the other tube lights up the other color.
ADVANCED LAMPS T-5
T5 Bulbs - are
5/8" diameter fluorescent tubes rather than the standard 1-1/2"
diameter. This slim profile makes the Aquatic t5 Fluorescent system
more efficient than standard fluorescent tubes. T5 fluorescent bulbs
also put out more light than standard fluorescent lamps, power
compacts and VHOs. |

Corallife Actinic
Blue 03 Lamp-The
Coralife Actinic 03 Blue lamp is a 100% blue actinic 03
phosphor that peaks at 420 nanometers. The Magtinic is the
same lamp with a 180o highly-polished external reflector.
Lighting with a higher blue component better simulates the
softer shades of dusk, dawn and the blue hue of deeper
water. Additionally, many marine invertebrates depend on
blue light, the wavelength that most deeply penetrates
water. Suggestion: In freshwater, use this bulb as a startup
bulb to begin your tank's daylight schedule and enhance
plant and fish colors! This bulb alone looks like a
blacklight, or or emits a very dark purple color.

READ THIS TIP!
Timers provide automatic timed lighting, or filtration for
your aquarium. About 15 years ago, our company
started putting filtration on a timer (The AAG Method), so
our filters/pumps would "die" at the 6th hour of "lights on"
and our filters/pumps would re-start after 2 hours of being
off. This allowed our plants incredibly to adsorb
helpful gases and natural CO2 during peak photosynthesis.
Plants start going through "peak photosynthesis" after/about
the 6th hour of daylight. (if you are not clear about
what we are explaining here, re-read this paragraph again).
Horticulturist's Tip
Timer
Example: Lights: on at 10am, off at 10pm.
So, your filter schedule will be: off at 4pm, back on
at 6pm. These couple of tips will also allow your
pump to "cool-off", extending the life of your pump by many
years! This is a helpful trick especially for those of
you that are NOT CO2 injected.
