Lighting for a 5.5 gal

[TigerBarbs]

What would be a good cheap lighting system for a 5.5 gal that could house plants?

This is what I have. http://www.amazon.com/Fluval-Mini-P...?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1318725820&sr=1-1 It's in a five gallon and the plants are exploding!

Ok what bulb is in it because i dont have 35 bucks to spend on a fixture

What plants do you have though? If possible could u post a pic?

On Amazon you can get it from third party sellers for $25.99. If you do the 35 bucks one, you get free shipping. Lighting isn't really cheap, haha. XD

This is what the fixture looks like on my tank. http://cdn.aquariumadvice.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=52940&d=1316723916 I have lots of wisteria, two anubias nanas, some java moss, dwarf hairgrass, and some Rotala rotoundifolia that I'm trying to grow back. Granted, I'm dosing with fertilizers and CO2.

O wow thats awesome!! Are there any fish?

Just a betta. Tried to put him in with some shrimp after rescaping to confuse his territory, but that didn't work out, so he's in a different tank. It's just the shrimp now.

I got one of these, very cheap at Walmart and the daylight bulb 6500k that fit it. I think I spent under $20.00 for both:
