T8 Lighting

[pottsvill]

I have a juwel rio180 with the old T8 lighting.Is it compatable with arcadia lighting although it is 5mm longer than the original juwel lighting.

I have arcadia freshwater T8 tubes in my rio 125.

Mine are actually the same size. One make includes the pins in the measurement the other one doesn't. If in doubt, measure the ones ypou have now, them measure the ones in the shop. Even if you intend buying the new tubes on line, it's worth a visit to a shop just to check. Don't forget to take yuor tape measure with you

Yes sounds like a plan you would think they would make all juwel/arcadia universal so it would make things easier.
