Light bulb suggestion?

[Freezekougra]

It's a hood for a 10g and it can hold 2 light bulbs. I'm planning on making an average planted tank with c02 using yeast(dunno if it's necessary, but it's fun ). Could someone suggest a specific bulb I should use? Do all 10g hoods that hold 2 bulbs use the same sized bulbs?

Thanks

i dunno what would fit in ur hood but i can give u suggestions for some decent lighting for ur 10g

lighting that's between 5500k-10,000k. i prefer 6700K for growing plants..
either one or two 28 watt bulbs.

Coralife makes a pretty decent bulb IMO...

I have the exact same hood you probably do, and I also have a 10g tank. Here's a link to my tank: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=258082

I'm using two 20w 6700K compact fluorescent bulbs that I purchased at walmart for about $4.00 a bulb. They work great, although I'm going to upgrade to a current usa lighting system here hopefully by the end of the month.
