How is the size of the light determined? Do you measure the light holder? The bulb from end to end? Including the tabs that go into the recepticle? Mine without the tabs is 17", I so far can only find 15" and 18" lights...

Anyone who says fish are boring is in the dark!

is probably an 18'' bulb, but take it into the LFS or wherever you are buying the bulbs and line them up to see if they are the same.. i know some companies do use weird sized bulbs so that you have to buy thier replacements, but it shouldnt be that bad i havent seen any 17'' bulbs EVER!

take it out and take it in, chances are someone can help you fiond a good one
