I've got a 10g tank that I'd like to successfully grow plants in. I've had
great success with some plants I bought at Wal-Mart. I planted too many of
the plants that grew too big, so right now they're suffering. Is there
anyway I can retrofit flourescent lighting into the factory lid or buy
another lid with flourescent lighting built in? I know I can grow a planted
tank successfully with a little more planning and the right light. Thanks.

When I upgraded the lighting in my 55gal, the two original flourescent lights
went straight into my 10gal (was incandescent) with a little modification to
the hood. I mention this because anytime you can convince yourself to buy a
bigger tank, it's good.
Anyways, ahsupply.com is a good place to start. Most LFS should carry
flourescent hoods too, but note that usually these are not the greatest. Do
some searching on http://groups.google.com and you can find some other
people's experiences, if you haven't already.
