Go to the fish department at Walmart and get two of the 10 watt plugin
fluorescents they have there. They have U-shaped tubes instead of
spiral ones. I have two in a 10 gallon jungle :-).

If you don't have access to a Walmart, BigAls has some also, but they
cost a little more.

I plan on putting 4 in a 29 high (30" hood) but don't know if they'd fit
in a 24" hood - it'd be tight.

PS I plan on using aluminum flashing to make the reflectors for the 30"
hood.
