There are compact fluorescent bulbs with incandescent base. So u just need to change the bulb and not the fixture. 20-30 watts of compact fluoresent is enought for 10 gallons. I grow hygohila polysperma and vallisneria in tall 10 gallons (14 " height) with just 11 watts of power compact desk lamp. And for plants i suggest anacharis. Just throw a bunch in there. No fertilizer no substrate Diy co2 and they will grow crazy.
I went shopping and was only able to fing these mini CFL's 50/50 10 watt. So I picked up 2 of them for my tank. I hope this will work. I also picked up some java moss (if that is what it really is) for now until I can do more research on plants to decide what would be best for my tank, and me. Thank you everyone, I really appreciate the help.
