Bulb Replacement

My first light was this coralife 2X21W T5, I am currently using it in addition to my nova extreme. However, now that I notice, I do not like the 10K thats in it, it seems alot more yellow than my nova. However I cannot find a 36" 21W bulb anywhere other than the coralife I have. Am I stuck with these crappy looking bulb?

Re: Bulb Replacement

Is the whole fixture 36" or just the bulbs?
If the fixture is 36" then the bulb should be 34".

Re: Bulb Replacement

Your pretty much stuck with the Coralife bulbs.I don't know of any company that makes normal output T5 bulbs/fixtures except them.Maybe replace the daylight with another actinic.
