Any 36" 2bulb fixture would work well. For the price you cant beat the Fishnnedit.com T5HO lights. The one youlisted would work well. But Fishneed it looks so much cooler

The combination of both would be ideal. I personally like UV Aquasun with a GE Startcoat 6500K..

I had looked at the fish need it lights but the assault on grammar made on the front page made me and my chief financiers (my parents) nervous. so since you are recommending them I feel much more comfortable doing it also you cant beat the prices . when is gla gonna start selling lights ?

We will start selling lights in late January. We will only have Tek,Marisstar, and our house brand in 24"and 36" fixtures.

Fishneedit is pretty well know brand in the hobby.

So! When do we get to see the journal?

well I hope to start a thread after I get my tank. which will be on Monday because ups doesn't let you pick up your package at the distribution center until they've attempted to drop off it once. then my lights come on Thursday. so hope fully by the end of the week

This should be a cool journal. I really wanted to buy one of these bad boys.
