And finally, is there a website or someone who could explain the
difference
in bulbs/lighting numbers in laymans terms. (I'm just wondering about
normal
fluorescent bulbs). I was looking at big al's online and there is a lot
to
pick from and I have no idea what the difference is between a lot of these
bulbs.

If you're planning a low maintenance and low light solution then a basic
full-spectrum bulb is all that's needed. So forget all the expensive
PowerGlo or LifeGlo bulbs and go to your local hardware store and pickup a
sunlight bulb for a few bucks

Anything else will just lead to algae problems.
