Okay, after reading a whole lot about lighting and finally deciding that T5's are the best way to go, I quickly realized that sort of lighting was not in my budget. Especially since I want to light just about every shelf on my 2 bakers racks that I just got. So, I went with the Walmart Shop Lights and put 1 GE Daylight Fluorescent T8 6500k 32watt bulbs in each shop light. I know it takes 2 bulbs and I tried two bulbs but it was just soooo bright. It was like those alien movies where a person is lit up by the spaceships lights and you have to squint to look in that direction because they're so bright. So, I took one bulb off and now it looks really nice.
Is it because they are 32Watt bulbs that it's too bright? Is 64 total wattage for two 20H tanks too much? Right now I have only one on the shelf but the one to the left of the racks is going on the same shelf with the other one.
Here are pics of my setups...Images are with just one bulb in each fixture. Only one fixture so far in each rack.
