I also got a 24" estension for each tube for $41 bucks each. Its not cheap but it will pay off in the long run. I also plan to run some supplemental lighting with the tubes, most likely t-5's.
just remember, any bends will decrease the amount of light. also, make sure the place you put them will get sun for as much of the day as possible, like a south facing side.
