Default Can anyone answer quickly

Hey Guys,

I am on my way home and I have to pickup a flourescent lightbulb for my freshwater aquaria, but for the life of me cannot remember the size and type of bulb I need. Can anyone tell me this and also if BriteLite carries them?

Please and thank you!

Oh sorry its a 20 gallon standard hagen aquarium!

It is actually Fluorescent. A standard 20L is 30 inches long, and a standard 20H is 24" long, so you may need a 30" tube or a 24" tube. Britelite should carry both.

Thanks Bob,

I guess I didn't keep my promise on my spelling. Oh well. Next to perfect will have to do!

I found out the bulb size should be 18" as the tank is 24" long. I couldn't believe the prices at Brite-Lite, 3 bucks for a bulb. Nice!

Chris
