Hi everyone, it is time for me to replace the 18w PC bulbs in my 15 gallon nanos. Currently it has the stock "no name" bulbs that came with the hood. Been looking around a bit for replacements and there seems to be 3 or 4 different brands out there.
Wondering if one brand is better or brighter than the others since price-wise they are all pretty much the same within a couple dollars.
Nothing else really to post about, the nanos just keep cruising along trouble-free and everything is healthy and growing. I average about a 1/2 hour maintenance on each tank weekly which includes the usual glass cleaning, small water change, rinsing out the filter media in one chamber and water tests which have remained static for months.
I would like to eventually combine both tanks into a larger display at some point, but I also have a couple freshwater tanks and have been watching craigslist for something in the 100 to 200 gallon range so I don't have to get rid of my always growing school of silver dollars that have outgrown their current 55 in less than six months and that upgrade is first on the list unfortunately.
