[APD] Fluro Tubes

["Mark Shewell" <markus at iinet_net.au>]

Hi All,

Over the weekend I was looking in my local hardware store for 48 inch fluro tubes to see if I could get a better price than those from my local aquarium stores.

The only ones that looked like they could come close at all to being useful for a planted setup were some NEC Quad-phosphor tubes which were 5000K. It said their tube colour was "natural". Can anyone tell me if these would be suitable for aquarium use and plant growth?  There were also some NEC Tri-phosphor cool white 4200K tubes as well.

Cheers,
Mark.
