Famous Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Anyone know of a place that sell standard halogen bulbs(double ended) in 10k or higher rating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegrandpoohbah Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Halogen bulbs are not suitable for SW. The light spectrum they put out is not suitable for keeping corals and they also produce a lot of heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosshog Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 You aren't going to find a halogen bulb that will work with salt tanks. Your going to need to buy a new light setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharuq1 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Agree with above. Halogen might work short term but in the end will probably lead to: 1. increased heat 2. increased pest algae ++ 3. decreased coral growth and possibly death or bleaching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
