regular output bulbs

[rodi]

What is the best regular output flour tube bulb for a FOWLR. Looking to stimulate some LR growth as well as show fish colors. Tank is 38gal with a 24" bulb capacity. Thanks

If you can have only one bulb then I would go with a high K value of around 10000. These bulbs can be found at almost any LFS.
Depending on what you are trying to grow 1 20W bulb will not produce much light.
If it is within your budget seriously think of a lighting upgrade.

IMHO, triton bulbs are the best NO bulb you can get. you should also look into an actinic supplement light with it though.
