Want to add some t5 to my Biocube 14

[nanoman1]

Well, i have a jbj viper 150 watt being used on my tank and wish to add some blue. Is there any single bulb strip lights anyone can reccomend to me, even power compact. Also, is there anyway i can get the light from the stock lighting out of the hood?
Thank you

you want some blue just buy the pheonix 14k bulb. it has a nice crisp blue. and you would only need to change that bulb once a year.

All right thanks. Do you know if the phoenix blows away the jbj bulb because i thought the 150 watt would be a lot brighter

I heard most bulbs, including the stock bulbs for jbj, current usa, etc.. are crap bulbs, cheaply made in china just to sell the product. They are trying to sell you a light fixture or tank, so they don't care about the bulbs they make... While Phoenix is trying to sell you a bulb so their bulb is much much nicer, yes.

Have you looked into the radium 20k bulb? its like the pheonix with a bit more pop.
