I need a 36" light and was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of what light to purchase. Web site, company, anyhting!!!! If you guys could please help me. THANK YOU in advance!

Well if your like me most of the MH fixture are to wide with you filter because those Mh fixtures don't get smaller than like 7.5" wide. I am going to get two 150 watt 20000K MH Hang-on tank lights for my 40g. They save space and the bulbs for them are only like $55. They are fan cooled made of anodized aluminum (I think) and they have a HQI lens to blobk out the UVs that MHs make. Here is my e-mail address I can e-mail you the site addres...

Might not wanna post links to "opposing" sites. But any way I e-mailed the two people that e-mailed me back. One of you I gave an exact link to the specific lighting. For the other person just go into products and under MH it should be Coralife Hang-on 150 watt or something like that. But you COULD and most like save money DIY this is though for those who don't have the room or just don't have the skills and I fill in both those areas. Well anyways happy fishing!
