More lighting...

Just to share, about a month ago I placed my out-of-tanks 4 orchid collection underneath one of the daylight screw-in compact fluorescents in a clamp lamp. We fertilized the orchids about a week after that...and one of the Dendrobiums is now in bloom.

Thats the light im pretty set on getting. The only thing is should i get two 100w bulbs for a 30g cube?

Do you mean 30w? 100w will be too much heat.

100sounds high but i figure you could go over 30w cause those lights done give off much heat at all.
