T5 Tubes, Help Again Please?

[Ev60]

Hello all,

The Arcadia Luminaire I bought from E-bay recently is being supplied with two white and two blue tubes! Will I be able to use the white tubes on my planted tank or will I have to replace all four?

Thanks in advance

Paul

The K rating for marine whites I believe is 9,500K, personally I would replace all 4 but you could try it and see how you get on.

Thanks again oldwhitewood.

Is that a picture of your tank by the way?

Chris,

I bought my luminaire off e-bay for £75 inc tubes (bargin) but on retrospect will have to change all four . It is only 3-6 months old though

What size are you looking for?
