    a really bad one... out of all the important things for your tank, lighting is probably the most important!
    Dont skimp on lighting, they make brand name expensive bulbs for a reason and its a very important reason

    Not sure how good it is as a no name bulb, but in theory if you can get it for the current bid of $.99 + s&h and it only lasts 6 months you'll have done ok
