My inbuilt tank light has broken - how do I find out what type it is?

Question

I have an aquaone 320, how do I find out what size light it is?

I also would like to get a slightly less bright one if possible? One I can still see the fish with but that it won't scare the living daylights out of them with?

NEVERMIND!

Found out I accidentally had turned off the wrong switch before bed, and that's why it wouldn't turn on.

How embarrassing.

Answer 1

I know that you have sorted out your lights, however if you're in the UK this link will take you to a supplier of Aquaone spares.
I have an Aquaone 510, I think Aquaone are fantastic little aquariums!

Answer 2

Since you know the model of your tank, if you ask at a local pet store - they should have a list of the sizes of lights for the tank. Or look at the packaging of the lights, it should say "fits models....". The existing light may have information stamped onto it. If in doubt, take the old lamp with you when you look for a replacement.

Answer 3

There was one time I remember that the light burned out and I had to take the entire canopy into the petstore :P If you take your old light in they will be able to get you the proper size.

The petstore will really be able to assist you with they type of lighting that you should use for your aquarium. Beware of those that increase algae growth.
