I have a 9w coralife daylight can i use this to replace it? d you think its a good idea on a five gallon?

i think you can use it, but i'm a little suspicious of the "rare-earth color enhancing phosphors to emit sparkling, blue-white rays"

for a 5 gallon it would be more than enough i think.

Wouldn't a bulb at 6500K be better?

i've got a 9w 6700 i think should i just stick with what i've got? its also going to be a CRS tank

I'm thinking that since your bulb is 9w and this one is 13w, the sizes may be different.

Also a different color temp would be a better choice.

Have you looked around home depot for a little overhang lamp that would suit your needs?

 

[Valthenya]

its the same type (double pin) and i've had a 13w marine in this one before

 

[supersmirky]

okay...usually different watts of bulbs indicates a different length bulb.

the other bulb is maybe a little longer but the fixture has like two more inches of room inside it
