Found a really good deal on florescent at Home Depot. 2-light Shop
Light with small reflector. Ballast can handle 2x (F32T8, F40T12,
F34T12, F25T12, F25T8) VERY versitile!! All for only $7.25. It's
Commercial Electric Shoplight item number 140-904.

I also picked up 4 Philips F32T8 TL850's ($3.29 a piece at home
depot). Couldn't get a lot of stats on them from the web, but have
found out that they are 2950 lumens, 86 CRI, 5000k. The store had
written on the shop tag "Full Spectrum". Not sure how good these will
be yet for plants, and/or giving good color to fishes yet. Any one have
any experience with these bulbs?

Thanks!
Greg

I have used similar bulbs (in a T12 package) and was quite happy with
them. The colour looked good, and my plants grew.
