I also have a Marineland Hex 5 aquarium on my desk at work and have used the
All-Glass Aquarium Mini Compact since I first set up the aquarium about six
months ago. The Mini Compact screws right in to the socket and seals
against moisture. It has performed flawlessly and has provided more than
sufficient light for my Rotala, Tropical Sunset Hygro and Pygmy Chain
Swords. I have a pair of Dwarf Gouramis and a pair of Cherry Barbs in the
aquarium right now. The light is on for nine hours a day and the
temperature rises about four degrees F during that time.

Thanks for the link! I wonder about "the equivalent light output of 50
watts
of light." If that's true isn't it waaay too much - 10wpg?
