Re: The costs of starting a saltwater tank
Is the bulb straight or is it "folded"? Are the pins at one end or are both? Did it come with the aquarium?

Scrap the saltwater idea. I feel like I should perform a face lift on my tank, instead.

Re: The costs of starting a saltwater tank
No we got it at... oh shoot I forget the name now. This website, I'll ask Ricky when I get home.

Oh! I remember. www.aquatraders.com

Anyway, it's a fixture with two straight bulbs and then two LED bulbs for the "Blue Moon" effect. We keep those on at night. I believe pins are at both ends of each of the straight bulbs. I'll go check tonight.

It didn't come with the aquarium - we built everything from scratch.

Re: The costs of starting a saltwater tank
Well then it all depends on the wattage, light spectrum and intensity with corals.

We should definitely have enough wattage - I know that was one of the things Ricky made sure of when we purchased the light.
