I'm just curious if any of you guys are using CF lights. If so, how are they working for you and where did you get them and for how much ? I'm looking for a cheap place to buy my lights. I'd like to get a 4' with double bulbs.

Marcin,
I have a 2x13 watt kit over my 20 vert with imitators, a 36 watt kit over my 20 h for my kahlua and cream auratus and a 55 watt kit over my 29 g tank with bicolors.I bought mine from AHsupply and love them.They can get warm during the summer but my plants sure grow good with them.I highly recommand them. They are pricey but the ballests are quiet and I don't need to use lights in the living room until the frogs's lights go out,LOL

I personally don't use Pc's over my tanks, I use VHO on my largest tank, because I was given 6 bulbs when i bought the tank. I know many people who have had alot of sucess with PC's.
The best places I have found to buy them are
www.hellolights.com and www.premiumaquatics.com, they are cheap and have great customer service.
