Def agree here. Every bulb is built differently with different qualities. Some are even different sizes when the same wattage. No two bulbs are alike.
You got some ventilation issues. I have a 35 g rubbermaid with 7 -had 8- ranging from 23-30 w for a total of 210 watts and mine peaked at 90 aftering some ventilation experiments. usually it hovers around 80 +/- 3 or 4 (it has been a bitch to get it there though, dont get me wrong. i feel your pain)
Good info, thanks. I also have noticed I have gotten my leaves very close to the 23 watters as well with no burnage...Got to love cfls in that regard.
Interesting, I'll have to check that out as I have a couple of different brands. This could actually help someone get their temps down perhaps.
I sure hope the person ya asked this is a Guy . Otherwise ya might be treadin on thin ice with Sexual Harassment in asking personal questions on a persons Box Size . But then again look at all the spam emails we all get sayin how Size Does Matter ,,,
