You wouldnt buy a £100 marine fish and feed it pond flake would you? Lighting works the same way, do the right thing! |

Because THEY ARENT the same, the gas inside is different so you get a different light spectrum, even if they look the same to your eyes the levels of light out of our visible range will be different, the corals & inverts will see the difference, believe me! |

The juwel lights are especially made for juwel... they are proper aquatic tubes, not the same as the phillips tubes you get in the electrical shops. Check the manufacturing/order codes. |
