Will spiral screw-in CFLs work?
I have a 20" high tank and I am currently using three 27W spiral screw-in compact fluorescent bulbs to light the tank. I know that these spiral bulbs lose strength due to the restrike. What kind of plants do you guys think I can grow with this lighting?
Thanks

this is why T5 bulbs are more efficient that the sprial bulbs, the smaller diameter reduces the amount of lighting reflected back onto the lamp.
