another lighting question
 

Firstly, I'm upping the amout of light I have to what I think would grow
just about every/any kinda plant possible....

Ideally, I'd like a 4 light strip, but limited to a 30" tank... is there a
T5 30" strip that can accomodate a 40W bulb? I've seen 48" strips and 40W
48" bulbs... not 30"....

PCF is what I have, and it's pretty damned hot.... even with fans, they add
to the heat sometimes....

also, what are the benefits of an electronic ballast...and where do you get
them....

You could try overdriving your lights. I do that with electronic ballastics
from Home Depot. I overdrive mine X 4.
