But barely adequate light output for a well planted tank, unless you stick with low light species. You can find some excellent values in compact fluorescent fixtures at http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp Most of their fixtures come with 50/50 bulbs, but they may be 10,000K/Actinic - they're pretty obliging through email if you would prefer they switched the bulbs for 6500 or 6500/10000. I've not found anywhere on the net that comes close to their prices. Their shipping is high, but so is everyone's these days. -- Mister Gardener -- Pull the WEED to email me |

Their online price is always cheaper then their instore price to account for shipping. I work for Petsmart and we do this all the time. Gloria |

I buy replacement tubes from the hardware store, saving 50% over going to a pet store. HTH, Laie |
