|  What kind of florescent bulbs? What kind of florescent bulbs should I use in my new planted tank? I have two daylight bulbs that my mom gave me because she didn't like the way they looked in the kitchen. Are these good? What should I use for the other two lights?

| Re: What kind of florescent bulbs? I buy mine at Home depot. I will NOT pay for the high priced lights like I used to.$20 for a light bulb at my LFS. I use GE Full spectrum(Sunshine)-2, plant and Aquarium-1 for my 55 MY new all plant tank I will go with 4 GE Full Spectrum (Sunshine) bulbs. They are like 6 or 7 dollars each. How many bulbs can you fit?

| Re: What kind of florescent bulbs? 4 4-foot bulbs. I'll look around this weekend and see what I can find.

| Re: What kind of florescent bulbs? I have been using Philips TLD 6500k lamps, from an ordinary electrical outlet for quite some time now. They give very good colour rendition, and are fairly close to natural daylight. You can buy the same lamps at your aquatics store, but at a greater cost, and with a different name on them. 8)
