Lighting Advice Needed- Currently have 4' bow front tank (the kind with lights and filter in the top pre-done). It only has 2x3' (30watt) tubes which don't even cut the bare minimum for plants. Does anybody have any ideas on how to mount 2-3 times the lighting in one of these?
 
Hagen T5 lighting is pretty cost effective and very efficient for plants IMO.
 
Kyle thanks for the input. After googling a bit best price I can get Hagen T5HO's local is $200 :ROFL: Not gonna happen. After a bit more googling and ebaying I found some cheaper T5HO's for around 1/3 of the price, thats more doable.

Again thanks for input and ideas.

What bulbs did you end up going with?
 
I havn't orded anything yet. Still on the research level. Will be popping into a few fish shops see prices on tubes.
