I need a 36" lighting fixture for my 55gallon. I'd prefer something similar to a 2x96 PC setup. Anyone have what I'm looking for?

I got two 36" Coralife 2x96 PC lamps from Doug McIntyre at reeftanklighting.com in woodstock for about $175 or so each. This was about the same price as the best internet price I found plus the shipping so I got them local. I had him bring them to the frag swap on december 14th so saved shipping. Tank looks Maaaavalous :D

Just out of curiosity, if you have a 55G and it is 48" long, why not get the 4x65W 48" coralife instead of a 36" 2x96 light? Doug doesn't have it listed but the general internet price is about $190 to $200. $25 more to go from 196W to 260W.

It's not 48" inches long. It's 36" long. It's taller and deeper than most other 55's I've seen. Thanks for you help!

I would go with Halides if it were up to me.
