Check out this tank, and the lighting.

My tank is the same exact size. His lighting is "T5HO 39W x 4"

But every T5 39W I find is either for marine (blue/white) or bigger than one meter across!!!!! ARRGHHHH!!! someone clear this up for me please.

Hagen just started a new line of HO T5 bulbs, which run under the same names as the T12 bulbs. The Lifeglo 2 is a 6700K bulb, and the 36" will be 39 watts. Check with your LFS about ordering these, as hagen is now doing direct ordering.

I guess I could order the midday HO bulbs by Geisemann from America and have them shipped (yuck).

Wyldfya - those Hagan bulbs are elusive. I can only find them in British online stores. I asked a LFS, but Hagen does not ship to Korea unless its a big shipment.

Amazing plantwork, that looks great. I am trying two 28 watt T5's on my 20 gal. Hopefully my plants are low maintenance.
