Hey what can I say I do what I can.

 

139.00 for a 48"ho t5 light

 

Check out this web page. I have 2 fixtures I bought from them. You might want to replace to generic bulbs though.
Build Your Aquarium
Keep in mind that you want to try and cover the sides with light. They have a 60" retrofit but I'm not to sure you can redily get most bulbs. I would do a lot of homework. This is just one opinion. They work fine for me but I'm not an expert. Tangster (on this site) is pretty sharp on lighting and a fellow that goes by the screan name of grim reefer at www.reefcentral.com is an expert. He gets back to you right away. He helped me with my setup because I wanted a bluer look.

 

see this is the look i want apart from im in the UK and finding it hard to get lights and i dont want an open top i have a piano style hood could u help marlinman thanks

I got a 4x39w t5 sundial with moonlights, paid 289 shipped. I love it and well worth the money.

I got my lights from buildyouraquarium.com.
As anything in this hobby there is a downside,
the downside to this lighting system is the fact
that they have to be taken down weekly and the bulb's removed
and the salt creep wiped off and the reflector's shined again,
other than that the lighting system is very good,
in fact I would highly reccomend it to those that do not
have money to burn.
I have taken acrylic from my previous lighting system
to make a guard to keep the creep off of the bulb connector's.
They also have a 5 year warranty which for folk's in my wage range
will have more time to save for better light's and still enjoy the hobby.
Being without a splash guard is not really a downside as the acrylic guard
cut's down the PAR value of your bulb's so as long as you
dont have flying fish and jumpers it is a good thing.....
Want any more info about the light's from buildyouraquarium.com.
Feel free to ask me....
Peace Friend's....
