The title below my name does not make me a guru...listen at your own risk!...
for a 2ft tank, the capacity should be ard 10 gallon. so you will need ard 30 watt of lighting. You can use 2 15w FL lighting or 1 36W PL lighting.
hi,
the Cheapest and Brightest way is to DIY them yourself.
I have all your lightings needs. Pls contact me for more details. MH, T5, Retrofit,OSRAM T5 tubes,OSRAM PLL,DIY KIT for T5 & PL.......HP: 93863135 - Benedict
diy may not be the cheapest way to go.
it's more for self satisfaction.
try checking out lfs and lighting shops for lights.

Totally agree with Tawauboy. Prices of lighting nowadays are pretty competetive. Do scout around at lfs namely NA Nature. He has good knowledge in lighting plus he's able to modify fora minimal fee.
