    So I finally have enough $ to upgrade to the 48" Aquactinics TX5 fixture. The only problem is I can't find it anywhere. I've checked with about 5 online vendors + the manufacturer, noone has one. Why is it so hard to find this fixture?

    Does anyone know of another place I could look? Other than posting a WTB thread or scanning FS threads (which I've done)?

    Here's where I've already looked:
    www.aquactinics.com
    www.saltycritter.com
    www.aquacave.com
    www.oceanreeflections.com
    www.aquariumspecialty.com
    www.premiumaquatics.com

    Any help would be appreciated, there's gotta be one out there somewhere!

    Thanks!

    Thx for the advice unfortunately I have a 55g long that is 12" so that's the reason I needed to go with the TX5,

    I'll try that link 2in10 didn't notice it listed.

    If that doesn't work out go to Hellolights and get 3 kits or get their 4 bulb over driven kit.
