So I decided to upgrade my crappy screw in bulbs and am doing research into what I should get. I'm thinking of getting this for my 10 gallon.

The price is really attractive at 84.99 plus 12.00 shipping but I'm wondering if i'm better off getting the 130w being advertised at Drsfosterandsmith for 118.00

At 72w, I'm still getting 7.2 w/gallon for my tank, although i've come across some threads about the now irrelevance of the watt/gallon issue. so doing the math it seems getting the 132 would be more economical wattage/price-wise... however short run costs as well as long term operations costs seems to point to the 72 gallon as more economical (cheaper purchase value plus the watt/hour charge of operation). Any recommendations? Would be great to get some feedback on this
