I would check ebay... Here's one I found for $90 w/ free shipping -
http://www.ebay.com/itm/48-T5-Aquar...236490?hash=item3ac12fc50a:g:hoAAAOSw-RRXCHSL
It comes with 6500k bulbs, here's the wavelengths that a 6500K T5HO bulb puts out...
Now I would go with the following bulbs from front to back...
6500k bulb
420nm actinic bulb
12,000k Bright white 440nm actinic bulb
WavePoint ultra growth wave bulb
Now I'll show you the wavelengths each bulbs has, and why I recommended these bulbs...
12,000k 440nm actinic white bulb bulb
420nm actinic
WavePoint ultra growth wave bulb
Now here's why I recommended these bulbs; live plants have 2 chlorophyll stages and each stage peaks at different wavelengths, chlorophyll A & chlorophyll B.
So for healthy plant life in a planted tank you want to target the chlorophyll peaks!!!
Now, because the light fixture has a digital timer you want the following lighting schedule for the tank...
8am 2 Front bulbs turn on
10am rear 2 bulbs turn on
2pm 2 front bulbs shut off
5pm 2 rear bulbs shut off
Now what this lighting schedule does is gives you "morning" light, then a 4 hour burst of light for high noon light, and then "evening" light...
So by wanting more light intense lighting on the tank you'll need a co2 source like a do it yourself co2 system using bakers yeast, or an automated co2 system, or a liquid carbon supplement like Flourish Excel. Also with better lighting you'll need to dose fertilizers to the tank so the plants have a steady source of nutrients to feed, for me I using dry fertilizers because it's cheaper and gives you the ability to target any deficiencies that may arise... But for beginners I always recommend Flourish Comprehensive to start with until you learn the ropes of aquarium fertilizers...
