My light bulb is really close to dying in my 45 gallon. However, I have tried 4 times to get a bulb for it, but they are all extremely low wattage and are not at all bright. I suppose this is the case because a 2 foot bulb would not normally go in as big a tank?

Anyways, anyone have a site where I could order a relatively cheap bulb?
Also, it's been a while since I have researched plants, and I never really paid attention to the watts per gallon. What is the rule of thumb?
 
rule of thumb is 3 watts per gallon... Also check the bulb is in the range of 5000K to 6700K.
