Title: Ok light - a bit dull,a bit yellow 12-inch, 8-watt T5
Review: I got this bulb for my Aqueon 15 gal column tank. A 12-inch bulb isn't easy to find, so I purchased this one and a Power-Glo to see which is brighter. I can only find T5 bulbs that are 8-watts, which isn't ideal as I want the tank BRIGHT. This bulb bulb is a much lower kelvin than the Power Glo, but the light looks very dull and a tad yellow once it is installed. It actually seems like it might be a bit dimmer than the original Aqueon bulb that the tank came with. Plants would probably do ok with it if they could tolerate medium light. Keep in mind my tank is very deep, so this review may not be a great qualifier for more standard shaped tanks where the light has less depth to penetrate.All that being said, it's hard to find 12" bulbs and beggars can't be choosers (well, except in this case they can). If this was the only bulb I could get my hands on, it would probably suffice.
Is the review positive or negative?
