The 6500K CFL were hard for me to find. I checked RONA and HD before I found them at Canadian Tire.

I know London Drugs also stocks the Phillips Daylights CFLs. I bought a bunch of 42 watt big ones that are super bright. The Marine & Byrne Road one in Burnaby has them on special for $9.99 for the 42 watt. On my refugiums, though, I use the 23 or 27w ones.Anthony

I got 6500k CF Phillips from Home Depot and cheato does not grow at all.
Incandescent "Grow Light" is very hot so i don't want it.

I also tried that super bright one with reflector recommended on mevlevs reef page and cheato or any other algae did not grow ether.

I wonder is there anything else?
