Lighting Question

[canthidefromme]

Hi all,
I have a eclipse system 12 tank. The standard bulb is a 13W 5500K compact fluorescent. To replace it do I have to buy the specific replacement bulb from marineland? If not, what specifications on the bulb do I need to look for? Oh yea, the tank is fish only (artificial plants).

I'd say buy the specific bulb, unless you can find a 13w that will suit your purposes.
