Hello,
A week ago I changed out the bulbs on my TX5 and got the following:
2 Giesseman Aquablue +
2 Giesseman Actnitic +
1 Giesseman Midday
I just noticed that the Midday bulb doesn't even appear to be on, so took out all the other bulbs (so I don't blind myself) and tried just running the Midday - I can tell it does come on, but it is VERY dim so I can't really see this providing any useful light to the tank. I've also tried the bulb in another slot with the same result (other bulbs are just as bright in it's slot)
I know the Midday bulb is only 6000k, is this the reason it is so dim? Or is there a chance that it is a defective bulb? I've never used the Midday bulb before so I'm not sure how bright it's supposed to be.
Thanks,
Andy
