So I am up grading my 6.6 gallon tank to a 13.3 gallon 23 inch long. It just so happens that the 6.6 gal is just as long as 13.3. However the 13.3 tank will be more wide, which calls for a different light. The 6.6 used an 18inch long T8 bulb which was ok for what I have but I need a longer wider light.

I have mostly low light plants:

Java Fern, Anubias nana barteri, Anubias nana petite, Anubias nana barteri "gold", a Banana Plant, and some peacock moss.

Does anyone know of a two bulb T8 set up around 23 inches ?

Also what do you think about T5s and the one in this link ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290922583760&ssPageName=ADME:X:PROI:US:3160

Do I need to buy a power source for the T5 set up, like one of those transformers?

Any low cost ideas ?
