are these any good? it says that they use a ge bulb:
Includes 9325°K bulb(s). 55 watt utilizes one bulb, 110 watt utilizes two 55 watt bulbs

what do these bulbs look like? are they good for plants? what other lights will fit this fixture? I might buy one down the road....
 
The bulbs look like any other flurescent bulb except with a GE stamp on them. The Kelvin rating refers to how yelolow/green/blue the light is with 5000K being yellow and 10000k being blue, so it's a whiter/bluer light. Any links to it? Is it PC or NO?
 
I've got one of those fixtures, it's nice. The bulbs are U shaped, straight pin (....) configuration , so any straight pin 55W PC bulb will fit in that fixture but if you're going planted I wouldn't change the bulbs - my plants love them and the colour is gorgeous - I've got 6700K and 10 000K bulbs as well, the 9325Ks are easily my favourite. :)
 
I agree with Blinky. The color looks great; it really brings out the colors of your fish, and the plants grow extremely well with this fixture.

I have two of those on my 75g. The reason I chose them was because I like the 9325k although it would have been cheaper for me to buy a 4*55 rather than two separate 2*55 watts. Still, I do like having two separate light units. I also run a 40w 6700k which is the first light on and last off.
