I'm seriously stupid about this. I've been trying to educate myself reading threads here and elsewhere on the net, but I still don't quite get it. When I look at all the brands of lights out there, I just boggle at the selection.
Most everything I have needs "low" to "moderate" lighting and is fairly easy to care for. Cryptocoryne wendtii "Bronze", dwarf hair grass, anubias, java moss, java fern, and wisteria. I think the hair grass it the most complicated thing I own, really.
The 29 Gal. has a stock light. No identification. What kind of bulb do I need to replace it with?
The 10 Gal. has a bulb made by GE Aquarays. It says "15fT8-AR-FS" and is 15W. I know it's a 15 watt florescent bulb and the tube size is T8. I don't know what "AR-FS" means? Anybody have a clue on that? Do I need to replace this bulb or is that going to be fine?
How do I choose bulb size? Are listed lengths of lights (Like 18", 24", etc) based on the length of the light bulb, or the length of the hood it's supposed to go in?
What's considered "Moderate" lighting?
