If you get the fixture and feel that the 6700K won't do the job, then HERE is a 10,000K bulb that I think fits that unit. Same wattage, 4 tubes, only its 10,000K.

I would definitely see how the 6700K does first, before spending $46 more on a bulb. Thats alot of $$$ for a bulb!

Thanks so much for finding this for me GirlieGirl. I'll certainly try the 6700K first though. It costs $90.00 here in Canada.

Sorry I haven't replied to this yet, my phone line kinda got ripped out, so I don't have the net anymore (for now, at least)...

Anyway, that light looks good, and I think you should probably try to put the 18,000k bulb on there as well as that one... it should balance out nicely, and you'll get light all the way to the bottom, as well as the correct spectrum (good idea, TimmAY!). Since there isn't room, you could probably remove the hood/cover of the tank, get legs for the lights, and put a canopy over the tank (canopy isn't a MUST, but it'd be nice, IMO)... then you could fit all of your lights
