You forgot:
1 to suggest alternative "adult" uses for a light bulb (with pics)
Now who could I mean? :-/ ;) ;D ;D
Very good post, though :y ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
How many admins does it take to remove the offending light bulbs post count?..... ::) ;D
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DVery good, but you have missecd out one crucial factor:
us women members would comment on the wrong 'colour' tone (daylight-natural-white light- yellow light - etc etc) of the light bulb replacement in the first place!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
Its funny you should say that but............
Our fish tank needed a new flourescent tube. Now to buy from the normal sources costs a lot, but B&Q had some daylight ones in at a good price, so I got one. Its a different colour from the other ones , but what the hell. However we have been troubled with severe blanket weed ever since. Is there a connection ?

Yes Ken I believe there is. :y :y
Don't know much about keeping fish tanks, but I remember a friend having a certain type of flourescent tube that gave off light which controlled the alge. All to do with ultra violet light if I remember correctly. ;)

Thanks Lizzie, We will try with a different tube. Fish tanks are very sensitive ecospheres.

They are indeed, it took us several months to get the balance right, and lost a few fish on the way :'( 9 months on though and needs very little maintenance........... :y
-
Yes, we have had the "add a couple of new fish, and killed the original lot". :'( :'( :'( However we added 4 new ones to the depleted tank some time ago (to a tank containing one tiger barb !), and now have 9 !. We don't know where the babies came from, there didn't appear to be any males in the 4 but......... And the tiger barb hasn't attacked the babies yet. He must be gettting old.

Yup, worked in an aquarium specialist for years.
Not just you mate, lots of people do that....once ;)
only way is to buy a proper tube.
They do different coloured tubes depending on wheter you want to improve the fish colours, or stimulate plant growth. There are also some jack or all trades tubes, which are generally the most popular, names like Triton / aquaglo are good all rounders.
A lot of tanks these days come with 2 tubes, so you can have one of each type.
