Review on Enhance Your Aquarium with Marineland Eclipse Compact Replacement Lamp by Tonya Austin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very bright white light

This bulb is not the one that came with the Aquarium Hex 5, an original bulb that gives off a softer light. I have two Hex 5 tanks, each with exactly the same settings, except one still has the original bulb. The aquarium I placed this replacement bulb in was suddenly overgrown with algae after the bulb was changed. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I had no problems with algae before I swapped out the bulb for this bright white one and my other tank is crystal clear as always. So I'm looking for a bulb like the one that came with the aquarium.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
