well its the T-5s two of them Pink and whit, and it goes all the way to the ends of the tank and i think it runs 35Wats per bulb
They probably get less light, mostly due to the fact that they don't recieve any light from the glass. You could wrap your tank in mylar, that would help, but...yeah...you probably won't like the way it looks.
Mostly, it's plants in the corners. Figure anything directly under the bulbs will get the most amount of light, and the further from the bulb/closer to the glass you get the less light there is. The corners will be lowest. Consider this when placing your plants as some need a lot of light and some don't.

I have 30" Coralife T-5's, and they are 18 watts per bulb. Are you sure that they are 35 watts per bulb?
