I seem to remember GE Chroma 50s (T-12s) were pretty good and reasonably cheap too. I used them on a plant tank I had about 4-5 years ago and bought them for $10-12 at Orchard Supply (local hardware/garden store here in Sacramento, CA area). I had pretty good success with them as well....and the kribs had no problems with 'em either - as their frequent spawning suggested :)
