I got a 10 gallon aquarium hood from a family member, and one of the bulbs blew before him giving it to me. I took it anyway, because neither of my aquariums have a hood, and I want to use it for for my goldfish my sister gave me. The hood is a marineland 10 gallon hood. It says to only use tubular lighting and can only be under 25 watts. Can I use a Zoo Med Ultra Sun Daylight Compact Fluorescent Bulb? I found it on petco, I guess they don't sell the bulbs I need, the hood was made in 2007. Any suggestions?

See if you can find one at a hardware store that will fit. I have no idea if the one you listed can be used. My first guess would be no.

You can put a new fixture in that hood and get a regular tube style florescent bulb too.
