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.

Grasslin T35 24-Hour Electromechanical "GROUNDED" Plug-in Lamp Timer
"Never forget to turn on your lights again!"

THIS IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY GROUNDED TIMER FOR ONLY 14.95

If you are still turning your aquarium lights ON and OFF again, every day, you need change that immediately!  Your aquarium needs it's own regular schedule!  

Aquarium lights on for 12 full hours everyday. Not intermittent. i.e. Noon 'til Midnight

Programming: 15 minute intervals. Features a manual overdrive. Grounded 3-conductor plug and receptacle.

T35 - SPECIFICATIONS:
Switch Rating: 15 amps resistive @120VAC

Ambient Temperature Range: 14°F to 122°Fwor 

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.
