In search of a light fixture

[texasguy]

Well I want to make my 29 gallon planted but i am unable to find a light fixture reasonably priced that gives me enough light. I don't want much so 30-60w is good. anyone know of a place where i can get something like that?

ebay, get an old flourescent fixture, strip it, and replace the bulbs with CFLs, great lighting, dirt cheap!

If your not into customizing yours maybe one like this

My 29g is 30 inches across but yours may be different

what are you trying to do? i have a coralife fixture like that but t5 which i think is better. another option where it will be a little short but still will work.

I've got the 30" Coralife aqualight on my 29g and it does well for me. I found it cheaper then the big sites here

+1 T5HO is the way to go.

I regret buying Coralife fixtures, I eventually replaced all that I had, the reflectors are junk.

aquatraders has cheap lights but you get what you pay for some say I have a few of there bulbs dont last as long as name brand bulbs but cheap and do the same growth 24 inch power compact would work and relitively cheap or cout go with off brand t5s that are t6s lol they work tho
