Small bulb

Okay the light bulb that fits into my 12 gallon tank hood seems to be really really ridiculosly hard to find In my opinion.
I have Marineland Eclipse 12 gallon tank, and came with hood and other stuff. I want to switch to better lamp in order to grow coral and amenomie, but I am having hard time finding the right lamp for this hood.

Marineland Eclipse System 12 Bulb 5,500K - 13 Watt Freshwater Bulbs

That is the type and look of the lamp I have. I dont know what size those are called or where I can buy them because petstores dont seem to sell them. I would really appreciate it If you guys can help me find a right light bulb that looks like that. I heard T5 is the recommanded for reef tank.
I also want my tank to look blue color, so i guess I would need T5 but in blue color? Sorry I am new to this project.
Please help me.


Thanks

 

I'm not too familiar with the elcipse systems but I think I remember adding extra bulbs. I believe it requires modification to the hood though.

 

you could try hello lights they might be able to help you.

 

Thank you fisherman, your site helped me out, i found a bulb size for my tank *i think*
Now my problem is...I want a blue light to get blue color tank, but also able to support anem's and Corals.
