I have posted links to Ebay. It's posting to your own selling website that's frowned upon as that amounts to free advertising. And links to other general fish forums - we don't want people migrating to the 'opposition'  ;D Links to specialised fish sites are fine.

Maybe Chris213 is an electrician too!  You can't be sure about these things... as I seem to be well capable of demonstrating... :-[ :-[ :-[  Sorry, I've been busy struggling with Linux all day and I'm in a bit of a dither as a result.

i am probably wrong but i think i just found them on ebay althow it might be wrong one iam unsure.Are we allowed to post links to ebay on here ?

ooo - if you click on the address bar (of the page in ebay) so it's highlighted in blue, then Ctrl C to copy it. Then Ctrl V to paste that link into your post on here, surrounded by the URL and /URL tags in square brackets. That should do it. There're pleny of 18W 2-pin CFLs out there, but not with a G23 base.

I would just like to point out that I've thearched and thearched and thearched until I'm thick of thearching for the thodding things and the only place I've found (in Ireland) won't reply to any enquiries. :-[

cant be sure they are  the right base  :-\

Thanks, Chris - but, as you say, wrong base. I need a G23 style base.

I recalled this discussion where we discussed your lighting before. Some of these links still apply, in addition you could have a look here or perhaps here or maybe wander over here or here or even here for some ideas. Not all of these would be suitable, so you would have to review them.

Steve - you're a genius. Thanks very much for this info. That previous discussion involved me buying 11W bulbs because I couldn't find any 18W ones with a G23 base.

I think this from one of the sites sums up my frustration at the difficulty of finding this tube: This Aqua One PL18w light tube with two pin connection is unique to the Aqua Nano 40 and will not fit any other PL18w socket neither will any other PL18 tubes featured elsewhere on the site fit the Aqua Nano 40.

Looks like I'm a captive consumer as far as this bulb is concerned. >:(

From the previous thread, you got an 11W tube, you still have this option, or you could replace the light with the new LED based one for your tank or something similar. The 18W tubes are really expensive, you wouldn't take long to recover your costs.

I was just browsing through one of the sites you linked to and found the LED set-up for the Nano40 (here) and that got me to thinking that this, for £40, would pay for itself in ~3 years.

Either that AquaOne part, or this at £27. Though this one is 3.5W as against the AquaOne genuine part at 10W which should be brighter.

Choices, choices, decisions, decisions. *sigh*

Thank you for the welcome Robert. And a big hello to everyone here. :cheers:
I have had my fish tank for about six weeks now and need to ask some questions on up keeping. I have had a quick look around the forum and there is some very impressive info here. :fishy1: For instance I didn't know that you should clean the filter in tank water not tap water. :vcross: Looking forward to chatting with you guys and gals will post questions in appropriate threads. Sorry if my questions have been asked umpteen times before. :yikes: Please be patient. Many thanks. Mike. (Second post)

Hi Mike. You are most welcome and if you do ask questions that have been asked before, or stupid questions, or (and this is even better) stupid questions that have been asked before, well... we are quite used to it...  ;) Most of us, not Sue because she is omniscient and powerful, but the rest of us have been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

Hi Mike  :wave:
Welcome to the forum :)
Steve is right....Sue knows absolutely EVERYTHING!!! You won't need to go anywhere else for your answers ;) and Steve is the 'post-it-in-the-right-thread' police...he can be very strict C:-)
Good luck with your tank...what fishies have you got or getting? Colin will want piccies...and he's right, piccies are a must.
