Good choice of lighting?
Hi, Today I bought a shop-light fluorescent fixture from Home Depot and am planning to suspend it from the ceiling above the aquarium. It's four feet long (even though my aquarium is two feet long) and has a ballast that takes two 40W T8 tubes. For some reason I thought that all the major aquatic plant lights (like Hagen's Aqua-Glo or Power-Glo or Sylvania's Gro-Lux) ar in fact T8, but after I brought the lamp home and checked, it seems that the *-Glo series at the right length are all T10 and Gro-Lux are T12. Another reason why I bought a fixture with a T8 ballast was that the store did not have any electric T12's. In any case, I would like to know if I made a mistake in buying this lamp. Should I perhaps return it before it's assembled and find something else?
