By the way, unlike like lamps
specialy made for aquariums, ordinary house lamps would not light up
the whole aquarium the same way.
====================
OK, the sites just sell bulbs. There's no explanation of what's best for FW
tanks or tanks with algae problems. Now the problem with my buying bulbs to
help with the algae would be a hard sell to my husband since the Flourish
Excel fiasco. I was assured over and over that algae turns white and falls
off when FE is used. Although I found that almost impossible to believe,
like a fool I bought the stuff. I bought a lot of it, and it's totally
useless. Then the same man from the plant group tried to get me to purchase
some other expensive crap from his friend who sells fertilizers. I can
spend well over $100 on bulbs and still have the algae problem. So you can
see why I hesitate to start buying expensive bulbs when the FE did nothing.
