Are you talking about your 55g tank?
I have the 48" All-Glass twin tube on my 75g.
Roy is right about losing light when you hang it above the tank.
I actually prefer one of the more expensive bulbs made by Coralife -
called ColorMax. I have to get them ordered at one of the shops a
couple towns away. If I don't do it that way, the shop right in town
has them, just $7 more EACH! When you need two, and I like to replace
both at the same time, it makes it worth it to have them ordered.
I just don't get the color I like in my Bettas (I have many females
in the 75g along with a resident male), as I do with this particular
bulb.
I've tried a few other full spectrum bulbs but the reds and blues just
don't POP. They're more of an average color.
Sometimes it's worth the extra cost of a more expensive bulb when you
have fish that have bright colors in them.

I was actually talking about my 29 gallon. My Twin-Tube light strip
fell the other day and now the lights flicker on and off. : \

I was going to try and save 20 bucks by using a shop light instead of
the All-Glass replacement.
