    I have not been able to find a fixture that has what I am looking for. I am trying to find a 2 bulb T5 fixture with built in LED moonlights. I will be using it with actinics to supplement my MHs. I want the moonlights on a second plug so that I can put the actinics on a timer and not have the moonlights turn off.

    Also, I am looking for a fuge light that I can put over my 12"x10" fuge. I wold prefer a 12" fixture I could mount across it over the JBJ clamp on style. I am looking at the Finnex 13 watt Fuge light, but it lists it as 11.75" and am not sure if the legs are adjustable or if it will fit on my rails 12" apart.

    I looked at the reef octopus. Do you know if it is made to go in a hood or if I can mount it on my hoodless tank?

    Someone recommended calling catalinaaquaria.com and ask about them building it for me. I was expecting a high price. I gave them a call and they are building it for me! Jim is building me a 36" 2x39w T5HO with 10-12 lunar LEDs shipped to FL for $120. I think that is a very fair price and is just want I was looking for.

    Do you have anyone have experience with their lights personally?

    My fixture is already built and will be shipping out tomorrow. They have even already provided me with the tracking number. Their customer service has been absolutely top notch! They took the time to asnwer all my questions about bulb color combos.

    They had to reprint the shipping label and I called today to get the new tracking number. They were not in the office when I spoke to them and said they would get it to me Monday. I also mentioned to them that I was billed $20 more then I was quoted. He immediately apologized and asked me if I would like two bulbs of my choice to call it even. He is sending me an extra 420 and a pink.

    Absolutely great service,
