What is the difference between aquarium fluorescent lighting and household fluorescent lighting besides price?

Since fish do not carry out photosynthesis, they do not really care about your choice of light. Incandescent lights will however produce a lot of heat and can make the water near the lights really warm. Since the fluctuating water temperatures can be harmful to your fish, fluorescent lights are a safer choice. They are a bit more expensive, but will on the other hand cut money off your electricity bill. Fluorescent lights are also more similar to sun light and will make the fish look more colorful and brilliant in the aquarium, and aid in the health of invertebrates.
