what is the difference between this fixture/t5 vs a fixture that can fit t8s, terrarium wise?

The fixture itself is less bulky, and the light is brighter and penetrates farther than T8.

I do not think so. However, my fixture doesn't dim, so the bulb would not do so in any case. I have actually never heard of a dimmable T8 bulb of any kind.

Go to TerraLux website. They have a product selector which shows what you need. I have the same light as you and am trying to find an upgrade on Amazon.

I would not buy this fixture at all, I bought two but barely bright my 90 gallon tank. I had to returned them and paid for shipping cost. I bought 4 DYSun "cindy@dsuny.com.cn" panels and they are a lot better, they are from HongKong but only took 2 days to get here in U.S

I used a pretty standard Malibu Low Voltage system and while the bulbs were wedges, I do not know if they were "T5" wedges. They don't seem to be quite as bright as the 7W malibu bulb, but have decent illumination. I've had good success with them the last 6 months - no failures and they've worked in 95 degree temps and at -5 degrees.

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

It is 5 inches (125mm) long and 3 5/8 (92mm) wide. It fits into a standard R30 fixture.

T8 is the size of the bulb. Everything is installed, i think its a little more than an inch

Hydroponics stores, nurseries, and places like home depot, do it center, etc....make sure you get the RIGHT ONES.....the T5 HIGH OUTPUT because they make weaker bulbs that will fit it....and make sure it's in the same "K" bandwidth as your old bulbs.

sorry, I have both kinds and I can't remember which they use. I got them for my greenhouse. I'm pretty sure they were T8 because those were the types of bulbs I had to buy but I can't guarantee it. It seems like the bulb type was included in the product description. The lights are very lightweight and come completely assembled which is nice.

Yea for sure I'm using one light fixture on my 90 gallon tall tank which has a similar footprint with a 40 gallon breeder. 36 inch long 18 inch wide and 32 inches tall. The light is plenty strong make sure you hang it a east 12 inches from top of the water to get good light dispersal for a three foot tank. Also takes some careful aqua scaping so you don't get any shadows on the side. Mine looks like a volcano very high in the middle and slopes down on both sides so as not creating casting almost any shadows. I run it at almost 80-90 percent and eveif I ran two I would probably not have aqua scales this way but I like the look and my coral in the bottom sandbed are getting enough light. I get ton of coralline algae on the sides of the tank so I am pretty confident the light is spreading enough. I don't have a gazillion corals so I did not see the need for more than one light and having one now I can definitely see that I can surely add more in the future without any problems. I am even having luck with sps corals so this is the real deal! You will definitely not be able to run them up that high intensity since the breeder is so much more of a shallow tank but that's good because you will be saving on electricity, also another reason I ran one light... Make sure you a climate your corals from very little light these lights are super powerful!

I can't say for sure as this is a smaller canopy than the one I use. The tube lights I buy for my canopy are:Exo Terra PT2172 Repti Glo 10.0 Bulb 25W 30in. but those would be too long for this particular canopy.Here is the specs for the Dual Top canopies from Exo Terra's site:http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/dual_top.phpand here is the site for their lighting information:http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/linear_fluorescent_bulbs.phpHope this helps, and best of luck with your terrarium!

They are G8. Thats what I saw. Thats my fixture size. And they work. Yeah I didn't see they listed them as both. I got lucky.

Yes, my aquarium is also 24 deep, it provides good light all the way to the bottom. I have no problems with my hairgrass or my Glossostigma, which I couldn't get to grow with the t8's.

I bought this ballast for my aquarium light which is a 15watt T8 bulb the same as your part number f15t8. The ballast wasn't exactly the same but had the correct wiring a specs and is working just fine so far. I purchased it based on feedback fro other people. It should work just fine for you.

Yes, I replaced the T5 low wattage lanscape bulbs with these. They actually fit more snuggly than the T5's which were always losing thier connection in the fixture. Initially thought they were not very bright, but really like them now.
