That i can get for a 48" dual shoplight i picked up one for my new tank that is sunshine went back to wal mart they only had like kitchen and bath and that is a little more yellow lowes was closed so if someone could give me some ideas i like the sunshine!
 
Then u should get for a 48" dual t5 fluorescent bulbs for your new tank that are around 6700k you should be able to find at lowes and if lowes is closed you can try home depot though or maybe even online like bigals and i like the sunshine too!
 
My favorite...and the ones I use most of the time are the daylight bulbs with the green ends. They usually come in a two pack for about $9.00 or so.

6800K and 9600K available.
 
Those will be very yellow/orange. The 6000-7000 will be whiter (slightly yellow), with the 10,000 being about as white as it gets before starting to turn blue. I personally use a 6700 and a 10000 together. Also saw some1 with 8800k and those looked sharp!
