I'm trying to put together a hood for a 30 gal long tank. I was going to use NO bulbs, but while I was at the hardware store I saw what were basically flourescent bulbs that screwed into a normal incandescent lamp socket, 15 watts each. So 5 bulbs and the sockets for each cost $30, about half what it would cost for NO with fixtures alone. I know that the bulb replacement cost will be more (about $3/bulb) but the bulbs are supposed to last 2yrs. Am I missing anything?
