Post by: mdugly on September 27, 2006, 07:52:51 PM

Hi,

I have a 10g with incandescent light fixture.
Can this be used for any plants ?
Or is plastic the only option... ?

Thanks,

Yeah, just go to Home Depot/Walmart and get the flour. spiral bulbs that are about the same size as a regular non-aquatic lightbulb. I think 11 watts is the one I bought, it doesn't look like it will fit, but it does. :)

Java fern should be able to grow in your tank.
