punman Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 On various forums I have heard good comments about this bulb. Has anyone seen it available in Calgary (or Alberta) and do they like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Are those the 9325K bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werner Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 The only place on the net that seems to show them is Drs. Foster & Smith (maybe sold as a proprietary brand?) Looks like there's a 4400K freshwater bulb, a 9325K fresh/saltwater bulb, and a 10000K saltwater bulb. I have used a GE 9325K compact fluorescent bulb that was sold under the All-Glass brand once upon a time. They look pretty good- red colors really pop with them and they have a nice output spectrum for plant growth. The used to be one of the favorite planted tank bulbs until All-Glass discontinued them. They are still available through GE: F55BX/AR/FS. You can find these through some commercial lighting suppliers. I tried getting some of these several years back but nobody stocked them (pkg of 6) and I would have had to order the case of 25 ($$$$$$). GE also shows several T8 and T12 "aquarium" bulbs in 4100K and 9325K here. Possibly the same as the Aqua Rays without the brand name? These come in a 6 pack so they might be easier to special order if you have to. Maybe give Brite-Lite a call- they're a GE dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
