I just have to say that after searching I finally found a 13w 50/50 pc bulb which was delivered today and I have to say that it's awesome! The bluish-white light sure beats the heck out of the yellow 6500k bulb I was using before on my 5 gallon nano. :D

how does your 5gallon nano do on 2.5 watts per gallon? What do you have in your tank? What type of filtration are you using?

It does fine since the tank's not that high (it's a Mini Bow 5) that I retrofitted with the 13w PC.
I've got brown button polyps and had some yellow polyps that were transfered to my main tank.
I'd like to get some mushrooms.
I use a penguin mini with biowheel for filtration/circulation. Again, since the tank is so small the flow from the filter is sufficient.
While it's not the most impressive tank in the world I like it and look forward to building it up into something nice.

Thanks! The photo doesn't really do it justice thanks to my poopy digital camera.
I believe Jalli makes the bulb. You can find it at this link <a href="http://www.customaquatic.com/customaquatic/pic1.asp?brandID=JL&offset=60&ItemID=lt-JLPLB-W13W" target="_blank">http://www.customaquatic.com/customaquatic/pic1.asp?brandID=JL&offset=60&ItemID=lt-JLPLB-W13W</a>
It's run by a 13w HelloLights.com (LampsNow.com) retro which fit perfectly into the hood.

Thanks! I am tempted to put those in my 6 gallon plant tank. I have one daylight and one actinic now.
