I have 2x 48" 40w fluorescent bulbs in my 55gal tank I would like to get
more light without adding 2 more bulbs ( the tank is not broad enough) I
can't find anything more than 40watts. where do you get those 96 watt
bulbs?

The 96 watt bulbs you want are Compact Fluorescents. It sounds like you have
T12's, the single long tubes, so you'll need a new ballast and sockets. You
didn't say whether your hood is homemade or commercial, either way you'll
need to make a conversion. I've never converted a commercial fixture, but
I've built a few of my own hoods, both T8 and Compact Fluorescent.

The best place I've found to buy the bulbs and kits is AH Supply, they are
an excellent company. The 96 watt kit is he
