Lighting for the small planted tank.

[dattack]

If anybody is interested, there is a thread that talks about 6500K bulbs power compact fluorescent that should be suitable to a small planted tank.  These bulbs are 20 Watts each and have a nice white crisp color of 6500K, unlike the 4000K (more yellowish) kinds you see for home use.  It's a screw on compact fluorescent.

I have 2 of these, and have used them on a 29 gallon planted.  They are more of a direct light. Not bad, but there they sit in my basement collecting dust.
