Do they make 18 Inch T-5HO 2700K bulbs?

[tang2]

I finally got my acrylic boxes made. Then I was trying to order my 18 inch 2700K T-5HO replacement bulbs from a site I had bookmarked. Then I realized they were NO t-5s that were 18 watts, not inches. Now Im worried because my boxes are made and I cant find any 18 inch 2700K T-5HO replacement bulbs. Only 10000K and actinic. Can anybody please help me find these bulbs!!!!

Well that is a tough one. I spent 15 minutes searching. They all are 24" bulbs.

Try asking in your regular reef forums, in the lighting section... someone will know.

Thanks for looking Santa Monica. Unfortunately this story has a sad ending... Luckily I made TWO!!! From my research they don't make them that small. I have a 96W power compact 20 inch 6700K. I know you said this could be to intense, but maybe could I use these.www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp18369/si1379063/cl0/coralifefreshwateraqualight206700kquad96watt .

You could you those, if the wattage is enough for your gallons. Would be a good idea to search for 2700K bulbs for them, for replacement later.
