Yes I know I have very low light, I talked it over with you guys a few weeks
ago. Unfortunately the tank combo with build on hood has only two 50W
incandelescent bulbs.

I don't know if those screw in mini compacts will fit in it, but I haven't
tried either. IF they would fit, I think I'd have way too much light. Do
they make fish sunglasses?

This is a link to the bulbs I want to try:

Do you think I could put one of these in and then just keep the other the
incandelescent bulb, or just the one compact and the other side no bulb?

I'm at wits end here. I bought plants from thatfishplace and now within
only one month my Corkscrew Val look horrible and my Cabomba is almost gone
(it seems to just disappear).

What do you think of this system? Would it be okay for a 10 or 20

tank? It's so cheap I'm tempted to try it. I don't have a technical

doing
so poorly even though I use Flourish. So what do you think of this
system
for a little help?

It works fairly well (search Google Groups for other threads on the
Nutrafin system). I know some people use just the diffuser with their own
DIY bottles and mixes. However, considering the whole system on sale right
now is only $6.50 more than just the diffuser, it might be worth it to get
the whole system. One thing though, how much light do you have on the
tank? Adding CO2 and Flourish won't be much help unless the light is
sufficient.
