Can someone help me find a 30" Aquarium light with a minimum of 90 watts. I need a light before my plants start to die..

It's for a planted tank and most the cheap lights I see are 12000k and Actinic bulbs... What makes them not for freshwater tanks, just the color of light for viewing or is there something in the light I don't want shining in my tank?

Here's the cheapest I have found so far:

Are your ferts and CO2 in order as well? Cause 2wpg+ isnt bad.
 
I dose on a schedule and got my Yeast system going now.
I haven't tested my water yet but everything is clean so far.
I got enough plants now to help give me more control then I did before.
 
I'm not familar with the light you linked but I see they offer 6400K bulbs sold seperately. One of those with the 12000K should work for you. Maybe you could request it be included instead of the actnitic bulb.
The price is certainly nice.
 
I just found these 2 lights here:

I think light number 1 would be my best deal so far?
Not sure how well the brand is but it has a warranty..? lol
