Has anyone heard of a 23inch fluorescent bulb

Has anyone heard of a 23inch fluorescent bulb in an aquarium hood? I swear nothing about my tank is standard...

There should be a number on the bulb. Could you please post it?

 

I'll look tonight and post it by Monday - thanks!

yea, that's unusual if it's 23" since 24" is the standard. You could search for your bulb here, but if you could post a pic of the bulb so we could read the text on it, maybe someone here will know the bulb.

 

Does your current hood have a 23" lightbulb? If so, go to the place where you bought the hood and ask them where to buy such lightbulbs.

If it's absolutely impossible to find such a lightbulb, then I guess you'll need a new hood with some standard lightbulb(s). There are fixtures both larger and smaller than a 24" standard one. If your fixture is too small, you can always buy adjustment legs for the fixture and adjust the fixture over your tank however you want it.

 

;D

Sorry guys... It turns out the bulb is 24 inches WITH THE PINS AT THE END... Oh well. I replaced the regular soft white with a Flora bulb from Petsmart, hopefully that'll be enough for the plants to grow.

Thanks again and sorry for the false alarm.
