I am thinking of getting the

Cube Garden MINI M and do not know what light to get. Should I go with that home depot light? Also does the ada site ship from locations in the U.S.

They ship from Houston, TX. ive seen good results with the home depot CF lights.

Theres a desk lamp 27 watt full spectrum for about $20 at home depot, people've been using that.
And yeah, adg ships from texas too.

Yeah, I saw that desk and floor lamp with a 27 watt quad CF and it looks great. I would get that. I believe the bulb is 6700k.

I have the 27 watt desk lamp from HD and yes it's a 6700k.I get pretty good results from it but I did modify it due to lack of any reflector. I cut the backing from behind the bulb but left the top part of the light clip intact. I then cut a piece of thin cardboard from a coors light 12 pack and glued some mylar to it and fit it behind the bulb, it works well...

I am curious to see how much difference in growth with the 200 dollar ADA light compared to the 20 dollar HD light.
Any one have 2 nano tanks with the same substrate plants and with both lights? LOL!

There's a clipon 6700k light (think it's 13w, might be 18w) from www.aquaticeco.com. I've been wanting to check it out but can't find anything else I want to buy from that site and don't want to get dinged on the minimum purchase fee along with S&H, so I haven't bought it yet. Could work well for what you want to do though.

how long is that desk lamp fixture and bulb?

Would a 20" 10 gal tank be too long for it?
