I feel like a moron.. I went to Lowes, Home Depot, Fishy Business, my LFS, which I love, Pet Ranch, before I went to walmart to look to upgrade my lights... heh.. spent about 4 hours and a 1/4 tank of gas... But anyways.. I found a 18inch florescant tube light for 7 bucks... its running that bulb, but I may get a plant light after payday. The package says it emits 75 watts of light, but I assume because its only a 18 in bulb, it only emits 15 watts. It says this about the actual light, not the bulb, so it may... opinions?? I have a flora-glo 20w on it as my main, plus that 15w so I have a total of 35 watts... or 95 if the box was true lol... my plants should be majorly happy. The hard part was witting it on the tank!!! See the pics for my elbow grease job....

They probably meant equivalent to 75w of incandescent. You have 35 total watts.
