    I recently bought a used tank for a very good price and I am looking to replace the light fixture with something that can support clams and the like. The dimensions of the top is 48in across 12 3/4in depth and 23in from the sides to the center brace. Does anyone know of any good lights?

    The best way to start is with whats your budget? There are alot of lights from $400-a few thousand that'll work

    The price really isn't an issue, I would prefer not to break the bank but you get what you pay for. As for what kind, I am not sure. Lights aren't really my strong suit.
