How much was the fixture?
I went to my lfs today (well twice) and they have a new display for some new T-5 lights by Hagen. I was trying to find them on the internet but couldn't, then I looked at Hagen's website and apparently right now they only sell them in Canada or something. They have a 24'' 2x 24 T-5 HO fixture with a single reflector for both bulbs. I was thinking maybe two of these would work. Or I could get a retro kit that they have and use a single reflector for each bulb, which would cost the same as buying the fixture and I would need to build a canopy if I went the retro route, but if I went with the fixture they would be so small it would be nice open top over the tank and it would probably look better
And I also got $40 store credit today for 8 gsp frags I took in. So I could just work up some store credit and get two of those t-5 fixtures (~$100 each).
What do you think?
