Ok, settled on an Aqua-tech 5 nano


Its by Regent and its something like a bowfront, but its not Minibow brand... has a self contained light and filter with a biowheel.... i'll be removing the wheel.... it came with some loverly silk plants, which i will be donating to the LFS and if my old boss can make $5 on selling them, more power to him

The self contained bulb does not have the wattage on it anywhere i can see... it does say:

Eclipse
Natural Daylight F8/T5
Made in UK for Marineland


i cannot decipher this, anyone tell me what it is?

now i'm not planning to go for anything that wants HIGH light, just some macros for whatever inmates i settle on to climb around in. Maybe a few mushrooms if the light is sufficient, but thats it.


Now i just have to try and decide where i want to set it up *chews fingernails*

its small, but i have no desire to have to move it anytime soon...

found this out by looking on Lowe's website:


Sylvania F8 T5 Cool White Fluorescent Bulb
Item #: 18820
Model: 20834

$4.98

T5 Shape
Miniature bipin base
Initial lumens 390
Nominal wattage 8
7,500 hour life
62 CRI; 4200 Color temperature


if WPG was a reliable rule of thumb, i'd have what 1.6 wpg?

not a whole lot, but i'm sure i could rig up something to supplement later...should be enough for macroalgae?

the distance from the bulb is like 10 inches
