Theres a 1" (thats ONE inch) available for use in PDAs.... but in the real world, id say 6" for a "real" tube... have you thought about compacts flouro's ? Also sold as "energy saving lamps" these use bent, or coiled tubes.

yeah, i thought of using those also. my plan is to make a light fixture to house 6 or so lights, have them reflected at different angles to simulate morning, afternoon, and evening (and possibly moon lights for night). i got the idea from a light that sits next to my tank. it was on when the lights were off, it gave a real nice early morning sense of light... so thats the plan lol


ps. i ahve a 75g tank
