Sorry to have another post about lighting.
I am currently using a 24" Power Glo Flourescent bulb to light my 25 gallon tank. Im having an ongoing struggle with the diatoms. After my water testing was good, it was suggested that my lighting may be the cause. If I leave the lights out for a day or two, it pretty much dissapears, but as soon as I use the light, even if only for afew hours, it comes back stronger than ever.
Unfortunately I dont have a couple hundred $ to spend on new lighting, and Im not expecting to add any corals or anemonies until after my tank has long stabilized and matured itself (probably another year). I dont have any fish yet, just afew inverts (shrimps, snails, and starfish).
My question is can somebody recommend a replacement bulb to use that will fit my canopy? It is a standard plastic canopy made by Hagen, and uses 1 24" flourescent bulb. I can provide pics if needed.
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.
