time to replace my bulbs (150wDE) ...a few questions...

[Anonymous]

I have lower-light LPS, and have a Coralife Aqualight Advanced...dual 150W DE halides.

I know there are two different sizes of DE halides, so how can I tell which length it is when ordering bulbs?

Also, do radium 20k's come in DE halides at 150W?

Thanks in advance...

Peace,

Chip

There's 2 sizes:

150w and 250w. Just make sure you order 150's!

I have a Phoenix 14KK on my tank and I love it. Lots of blue and I still get good growth.

And I don't think radiums come in 150 DE.

There's also a 400W size DE now, but as Bingo says, each wattage will be the same size AFAIK, so order 150W.

I meant the actual length of the bulb...aren't there two different lengths of the DE bulbs? I want to make sure it fits in the fixture...

Chip,

150 watt DE bulbs are meant for an RX7S Base and should measure 5.7". These have short nipples at the ends. 250 watt DE bulbs are for FC2 Base fixtures and measure 6.45". These have flat ends.

That clears it up, Karl...thanks bud.

I should've asked you in the first place instead of fooling around with our goofy ignorant admin who forgot how to take pics of his tank...

Peace,

I know...that's why I said 'admin' because the Ho is one and you are not. Anyway, you know how to take pics of your new tank, and I'm doubtful that Len's even exists.

Peace,
