Will a normal 20watt flourescent lightbulb fit in a hex 5gallon?
I have a 10 watt compact flourescent bulb made for aquariums in my 5gallon hex tank. I probably need to get a 15watt or 20watt since I am switching to live plants. My question is will a regular sized flourescent bulb from walmart thats not made especially for aquariums be alright? This is a link to something that seems like it would work, has anyone tried this? http://www.plumbersurplus.com/Prod/General-Electri...
