I think I've finally made up my mind. I think I'm gonna go with the two 55 watt CF bulbs for a total of 2wpg of 6700k lighting. I like tanks with a natural look, and the 6700k would be nicer I think than the 10,000 and the place I'm buying the bulbs and ballast from doesn't have anything but actinic and 10,000k in the 96w. So for $65 I think I'll be getting a good deal, 2wpg will do much better than my current 0.75wpg, and shouldn't be as high maintenance as the 3.5wpg setup. I want something that will grow plants and make them look healthy and happy, but not cause a constant battle to keep up with nutrient dosing and co2 and algae and everything. Thanks for your help seaman and RTR!
