Geisemann, ATI & KZ all have great bulbs. I use first 2 right now & love em; but thinking of switching one out for a KZ corallite bulb for more growth...

I have a 36" Current Nova Extreme 4x39 watt and I dont have any complaints. The stock bulbs probably aren't the greatest, but you're going to have to replace them anyway.

Oh, duh... I had Current Sundial fixture & switched out the bulbs cause I wanted to have corals too; but for FOWLR, the stock bulbs are fine.

ATI followed (somewhat distantly) by TEK.
