Does that work? According WPG it's way too much, but do CF bulbs come any smaller?

La dee dah. Went to Walgreens for something else and found a 9 watt CF bulb. Guess we'll see how it works!

Wow, so pretty!

Cool. As I understand it, WPG totally breaks down when it comes to small tanks and isn't indicative of how much light you want. I've seen many threads/posts on that on other sites, but forgot where at the moment. I've used a similar bulb over a 2.5 gallon and had no issues growing crypts and windelov java fern. If you can get your hands on those plants, I'm sure your betta would like to rest on the leaves like mine did- I am assuming this is for a betta.

Great! I thought the smaller tank might throw the scales off a bit. Off to buy another! Thanks, Harpua.
