I am looking for a screw in compact fluorescent bulb for my 5G tank, since my 10W isn't really cutting it with plants. I looked at Walmart, Lowes, and my LFSs for some, but the highest rating they had was 3700K. Does anyone know where to find around a 20W with the right Kelvin temp?

Amazon.com, There are more choices there than you will know what to do with, but I got these. They are working great and my plants seem to be doing fine. The dwarf Sag. I have had for like 6-7 months has sent out it's first 2 runners since I switched to these bulbs.

ok i went to menards (hardware store) and they had a sale on some 23W 6000K cfls. I had to rig up my hood a bit to get it to fit, but it's in there and bright as ever.
