If you are building a new top like Ross did the bulb is not bad in price. If you want to go another route, I have 96W tubes in my fixture, and the 36" tubes are around $50.00. So whatever works best for you.
Actinic light has a spectral peek of 430nm so any light that has a hugh spike at 430ish nm is concidered actinic if that is the majority of its light.
