hey everyone I have started to construct my canopy for my 225 tank an went to home depot an picked up my lights they are dual t-12 lights an was looking on the BA website an can only find t-12 reptile bulbs
does any one know were I can find aquarium t-12 bulbs ???

just use regular ones from home depot, much beter price and not much of a diference, I would go for around 6,500k
