    Dyngoe where did you find the fixture $200? I hope they ship up to canada. Me and my hubby were talking about it and I personally agree. I think I will save up in January for a whole new lighting fixture and sell the pc. I just want the best for my budget. I personally don't want to waste anymore money on things I will have to replace in another few mnths. I really don't like MH lighting, the look, the heat, and the expenses that come with it. Thank you all for helping me...I am sure I will have a million more questions.

    Hi Nemo,

    Glad to help. I've done my whole tank on a Craigslist budget. It hasn't been easy or quick, but it has been cheap. I found the light at Forester & Smith. Here's the direct link:
    T-5 Aquarium Lighting: Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights
    My friend had the PC version and liked it alot. It's not as slim as the TekLights, but at half the price who can really compain. Here's hoping you have a fun and "bright" new year.

    T-5. And, yes, I use them -- I have the 24" Nova Extreme with two lunar lights and 4 bulbs. My only complaint is that they make the algae grow like crazy. I've had mine for a year, so it's probably time to change the bulbs.

    I like my t-5s but I have had them less than a month.
