Besides the great response from plants, I've found that the Daylight bulbs
are much too green and not enough brightness to bring out the colors in my
fish (more blue light). Unfortunately I haven't found a cheap 18,000K bulb
yet...and I still use the PowerGlo.

I use four GE "daylight" bulbs in two $8.00 four foot fixtures. Total

Take the stick in the eye out to reply.

That lamp is called GE Daylight Ultra or F40SP65 and it's like $6 a piece
at
Wal-Mart.
