If you can afford an additional $25 for the new bulbs to go in that fixture why wouldn't you buy the new fixture I linked with bulbs that will better support plant growth than those standard fluorescents?

Or you can DIY like Korn is suggesting- but IME that will likely end up just as expensive in the long run...
