rjsomers Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Okay so I'm looking for affordable lights for my 10g planted tanks. I am thinking either single 18" T5ho sunblaster or the Fluval PCL13 or ??? $40 is my price point, no high light plants in them. Suggestions??? I use dual sunblaster bulbs on my other tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I"m a huge fan of the Sunblaster t5ho lights. When making a choice for something I always consider the ease to find and cost of replacement bulbs. Sunblaster 17 watts Fluval 13 watts so there is a bit of a difference in that as well. The Fluval is more compact than the Sunblaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsomers Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm having trouble finding sunblaster fixtures. Quick grow only carries the bulbs now. Going to check the garden centers and a few other hydroponic places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 golden acre i was told will always carry t5 bulbs https://www.goldenacre.ca/shop-all-departments/indoor-gardening/lighting-reflection/sunblaster-replacement-lamp-6400k-18-inch/ sunnyside beside COP typically had the t5 fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
