I think I have decided to go with three little 12" T-5 bulbs found in the kitchen section of walmart. I have used them before on nano reefs (different bulbs of course) but I don't know how or if it's a good idea. Does anyone have any reason they wouldn't work? If not, which T-5 bulbs have you had the most success with?? Stock bulbs aren't going to cut it I don't believe, but if the whole fixture idea won't work, I'll continue to look into the LED option. Again thanks for the help!
