Good afternoon,
My tank

I have an Arcardia original tropical FO 18 24 " in my lid. The tank is 18" I think, and approx 100l.

The problem I have is I really can't tell if the bulb is still good for use (I approximate it's about a year old, but won't have been used much in that time). I don't want to buy another bulb and find it's the same/similar lighting, is there any other way I can tell?
Also is that bulb any good for growing plants? If not, what do you recommend?
And as you might be able to see from the photo, I only have fixings for one bulb, is there an alternative to buying an entire new hood?
Sorry about the barrage of questions, I hope it all makes sense!
