I went to big als and bought aquatic life dual-Lamp T5 HO. Accidentally they gave me marine Aquatic life dual-Lamp T5 HO, I asked him for fresh water. I used it for a day and i check the box it says marine. Can i still use Marine t5 HO on fresh water tank??? or should i return it and get fresh water t5? If any one can help me. when i turn the marine light, very very bright and its light up the whole living room.

I have tropheus in the tank.can they take really really bright lighting?

Thank you

Shawn

Now that you have it, keep it...LOL..The marine will enhance the colour of those fish intensely..actinic, and the white is 10,000k as opposed to a 6700k..much whiter light is the 10,000k..do you have a switch to turn off the white, and run only actinic..this looks good just before and after white light..Unless you are growing live plants, you will not have any difference, in lighting , other than the preference for your eyes..the blue in your troheus, will show nicely..under marine..YOUR CHOICE THOUGH...
