    I really need help with my tank lighting. I cannot find any lighting
    I bought a tank aquarium used kit on craiglist. Its a pretty small 12 gallon tank. Its called Marineland Eclipse 12.
    It has a differnt light bulb compared to others i see in petstores.

    This is what my tank looks like..YouTube - *NEW* -- Salt Water TANK! same color white light.

    Purely UV-C Replacement Bulbs G23 Base at PETCO and my light bulb kinda looks like this..the bottom part...

    except the bulb part is Coralife Mini Compact Fluorescent 50/50 Bulb at PETCO but with only 1 glass instead of double like this picture.

    It this makes sense...

    But I would like to grow some coral and anemonies, but I need help finding this type of bulb and a good one too. Help would be appreciated thanks.

    Try Dr Foster and Smith online if u cant find it, their customer service is great at helping u find what you need. NOW, A 12 gal. nano is to small for anemonies. If that is your nano on u tube, it is also to small for the fish in it. Please research before you buy. It is a mistake we all make, at some time or another; But mistakes in this hobby can be quite expensive and frustrateing. wish u luck.
