I've come to the horrible realization after looking at my plants tonight that full spectrum flourescents suck. So now I need something that actually works. I have a 10 gallon aquarium in a 48" wide by 24" long by 8"deep free standing cabinet. (not sure how much of that is usable space) I could either go with installing lights on the dresser or getting a regular double fixture hood for the tank itself. Which would be better and what lights should I get. Affordable would be nice. I've heard a lot about HID. Would those be good in my situation or too much. How much energy do they take? WOuld my electric bill sky rocket? thanks a bunch. Shauntell
