I failed Kobayashi Maru
I can't find my bulb online for my chaeto, but I get mine from Walmart, and it's around $9 or something -- Brinks brand, 26W CLF flood bulb, equivalent to 100W (1400 lumens, 6400K). My chaeto grew like crazy when I put this in.
Actually, when I left it on 24/7, I would go through a bulb a month practically. When I switched to on/off, it lasted longer (I've used the same one for 6 months now since doing on/off). But having it go on/off did slow down the growth.
Why not just leave the light on 24/7, it's only 23 watts.Bulb will last longer, the off/on kills the cf bulbs pretty quick. I'll toss you a carbon credit so its all good :Cheers:
