Thank you, Giancarlo. It's a good starting point. I just sent an e-mail to All-Glass and *hopefully* I'll get some sort of reply from them. If not, I'll have to take the specs you provided and see if I can't find something close.

Thing is, if you look at the last link I posted, there is no GE 12" bulb listed at all. The smallest one is 15". So I'm wondering if maybe the tubes that were included with the 12" strip lights were different from all of the other sizes. *Possible* reason why the 12" strip lights are slightly more expensive than the larger sizes, maybe...?

Anyway, I'm getting antsy about this. I *really* want to be able to set this tank back up with the confidence of knowing that I can get the great results that I used to. I suppose if I can't find anything else, I'll look for the 12" All-Glass Lighting bulb. Maybe that's the one they've been including with the fixtures all along, anyway...

Hi again...

Rolo - sort of a favor to ask. Next time you're at the LFS that stocks these lights, think you could maybe check the price on the All-Glass 12" 8W bulb (regular fluorescent tube) if you remember? I asked my "regular" LFS to order it if they can, but only if I can get it for no more than $20. T5's are REALLY expensive!!!

This search is getting to be extremely frustrating. I asked another LFS if I could have it special-ordered, but he said that it might be a while because he won't order from All-Glass until he's ready with a certain amount of stuff to purchase. That's understandable, but doesn't do me any good .

Well, thanks... And BTW, have a happy Thanksgiving, All! I probably won't be checking here between Tuesday and Friday.

-Naomi
