Can someone direct me to a bulb I can use in this for my 5.5 gallon tank? A link would be great!

You can purchase the Aqua Culture 15 watt aquarium light bulb from Wal-Mart...it's inexpensive and comes in single or twin packaging. You can buy the bulbs directly from the store or online. Hope this helps.

My unit came with an Agrobrite 6400 K color temp T5 lamp. You can put in what ever you want. T5 bulbs are available in a variety of color temperatures.

Should work fine if you want a poor quality short lasting at best aquarium hood. They seem to be no longer making the ALL GLASS brand since Aqueon bought them. Quality out the window and no matter what bulb you put in the hood it won't last long and might quit working all together shortly after you buy it such as two of mine did!

Depends on tank size, mine is over a 20 gallon tall, and is successfully lighting duncans, hammer, and various favia and favites. Also look at the reef breeders nano par 38 lamps, they're not too much more $.

The FugeRay2 may work, but Finnex makes another light that is expressly intended for your use. I currently have a Finnex Ray2 light that works very well on my 90 gallon (a bit over 25" deep) for plants on the bottom of the tank.

Illy-Den, can you tell me which specific halogen bulb to use? The previous bulb was a standard incandescent dimmable and I have been without the use of this fixture for months trying to find the appropriate one.

Hi, Penny,I'm just using the bulb that came with the lamp...don't even know the wattage. It's an incandescent bulb that's usually used in aquariums. I'm "old school," and prefer incandescents to the new bulbs. Take care.Tony

my reply is I need to get one also but 42 W 4-quad bulb since I zapped mine with electro static discharge last night. the company you deal with should be able to give you the right replacement for the number you give him. look around if amazon can't help go to Full spectrum or a store near you that sells different type of bulbs. even Amazon should have replacement book to look it up.

Zoo Med Laboratories AZMHLC15 15-Watt Highlights Incandescent Bulb, ClearThat is a 15 watt bulb that will fit this hood. I'm assuming the hood is for a 5 gallon or so tank so that would give you 3 watts per gallon. In my tank this has been plenty for my plants. Incandescent bulbs can produce some warmth, though so keep an eye on the temperature in your tank. Hope this helps.

You have to buy a bulb separately. Preferably at the recommended wattage for your pet. I have frogs and its warm so I got a forty watt black light. Ask the pet shop what bulb u need and buy it there. Amazons break during the shipping process almost everytime.

I bought two hoods for a standard 55 gallon aquarium. It should also work on a 20/29 high tank as well. At work so don't have specs. Nice hood but bulbs they give you are not as bright as I thought .

You should be able to use this hood but buy a different type of bulb that will offer the correct light. That is what we did for our 10 gallon and what we are planning to do with our 29 gallon, once it's set-up. I just talked with the guy at Petco who is also a huge fish tank keeper and he was VERY helpful with explaining the different types of lights and what we needed. What I'm trying to say is that you don't need to buy a special hood for fresh water plants, you just need to upgrade your bulbs.

McKAy105, Did you buy this? I am shopping for LED lighting for my 30" deep 150g tank, and would love feedback or other recommendations! Thanks!

You would need the 5 watt size for a 1.5 gallon tank. This one would be way too warm.

the 10.0 uvb reptisun bulb will reach up to 20 inches. The 5.0 will reach up to 12 inches so it depends on how deep your tank is as to which one you get. It is a very good bulb. I use the 10.0 on my bearded dragons. Their tank is 20 inches deep. Hope this helped. Good luck. :)
