My fixture included the bulbs, but I get them locally for $16.

It doesn't have to be. The ballast only supplies 55 Watts.I would make sure the ballast is rated to handle the extra wattage..

The whole setup should be under $60 at home depot and will last for years. Right now I have my wisteria in a 20 gal with 15 wpg and it grows like mad. What is your substrate? Mine have their own pots with my "special blend."
