    So far I only know the price at C328 and Nature.

    Nature is cheaper by $4 per tube. FYI

    I've yet to see any FL tubes that is rated more than 40W. Not sure Arcadia has them or not. If you think they are too expensive you can give Hitachi Extra Bright tubes a go. Cost much much more cheaper. Had great results for my planted tank.

    sherwin,

    i just bought a Hitachi FL Tube (37 watts, 48"), but i can't see any wordings of EXTRA BRIGHT...but it is a TRI-PHOSPHOR tube...i read somewhere in the net, TRI-PHOSPHOR also can be use for planted tank....

    by the way, i pay something like S$8 per tube, how much did you pay at Kim Siah??...

    jw,
    If I remember correct there is something like "EX-B" wording on it. The packaging should be blue in colour.
    Cheers!!
