on my 55 gallon tank, i just recently bought a new hood that would accomodate a 48 inch tube.
the hood i bought was Perfect a Lite by Marineland.
the tube it came with is an Eclipse Natural Daylight F40T10/48" Made in Thailand for Marineland.
is this the "daylight tube" that i want for plants? it doesn't say anywhere on there about what the kelvin rating is. i went to Home Depot to look for a 6500k tube, but they didn't seem to have any T10 tubes.
i bought this hood from PetSmart. i opened up the box on the floor in the store to make sure it was a 48 inch tube. while i was doing this, some worker came and asked if i needed help. i explained i was upgrading my lights, and just making sure it was the size i was looking for. i then asked him if the price of $32.99 was correct, and he said yes. when i got to the register, it rang up as $89.99. so i said "hold on a minute, this guy told me it was $32" so she called the same guy back over and he says "just give it to him for $32", so that's what i paid for it. i would hate to have to bring it back for something else, since i kind of got a steal on it.
