I've really come to like spiral CFL bulbs (6500k color temp) in a reflector, pointed downward toward the substrate, as cheap and effective planted tank lighting. I've never run CO2, but I imagine a couple of 27 watt bulbs would do the job just fine.
But I've actually been considering a switch to LEDs for my 55g, the Finnex Ray2 or Planted+ in particular, since they seem to get a lot of love here and on plantedtank.net. So not to derail the thread, but I'm curious: Doxlee, may I ask what kinds of plants you have in your 55g, and whether you run CO2?
