CFL better than fluorescent?
In article ,
Brian wrote: I recently lost my light hood due to an electrical short - a small fire quickly put out. I had two T-8 fluorescents. Since I have this opportunity to start from scratch, I'm considering going with compact fluorescents instead of the old T-8s. Is there any advantage in CFL? With the 96W lamp, I can definitely get more watts in the tank, but I wasn't doing too badly before. Any other advantages to CFL? Certainly, the T-8 bulbs are cheaper. Thanks, B Sorry, forgot to mention - I run a South American tropical tank, plants & fish, no CO2, 36" long 38 gallon (US). B
