I know that I need to add more wattage to my aquarium lighting for my planted 29 gallon aquarium, but I don't know how exactly to do that without a DIY hood, does anyone know where I can find a hood that will give me the option of using 2 T5 fluorescent bulbs?
 
Are you planning on a high tech set-up? Or do you just want more light? What is the current wattage?

Just had a quick glance at your other posts. You're right 18W isn't enough but that doesn't mean you definitely need to switch to T5. What type of tank is it? What size bulb? And is there room for more than one bulb?
To me it sounds like there should be 2 x 18W in that tank and on a 29gal it is the norm to have 2 bulbs.
 
What I have is just a stock setup with an 18 watt fluorescent bulb, this is not enough for the type of tank I'd like to have. I want to have a heavily planted tank, I am going to use a DIY CO2 setup as well once I increase the amount of light. I'd like to increase the wattage to 78 watts using two of these bulbs http://www.onlinepetdepot.com/flora-bulb-inches-watts-p-12777.html
