The Phillips daylight bulbs (T8) were $4 CDN. Seem OK, but they aren't for a
planted tank. I use CF on my planted tank.

The Philips ADV850 rates well for a planted tank. It is a tri-phosphor daylight
tube with good color rendering and 5000K color temp. It is also fairly bright for
a 32W bulb compared to some specialized versions. The exact part number is
F32T8/ADV850. A very similar Philips tube, 5% less bright, is available in our
area at the Home Depot for about $8 for the 32W, 48" T8 tube. That one is
F32T8/TL850.
