	Lights, camera, action!
cinnamonclown Fingerling Posts: 19 Kudos: 18 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jun-2004	When I bought my aquarium the hood didn't have any lights in it (I got ripped off Nevermind the fact that I knew it didn't have lights before I bought it). Anyway, there was a piece of paper that told what size light bulbs to get. Said piece of paper has suddenly come up missing. Is there any way to tell what kind will fit in it? Will just measuring it work to see how long it needs to be? It's for a 50 gallon.

Ask for the top person in the company. Good luck Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
