Thanks hoppycalif, appreciate your input.

The tank is actually only 7 gallon, made a mistake in the conversion from litres, which makes it 6.8W/gallon. The hood sits about 8cm above the surface of the water, and is mirrored internally. I understand what you are saying about the reflector though, which is about 50% blocked by the lamps themselves.

If anyone could give me some data on the available CF lamps I am looking for it would be fantastic.
