Looks like a 6 bulb T5 fixture. The bulbs should have a name brand on them as well as the fixture. I would consider replacing the bulbs since we dont know for sure how many hours of use are on them.

The bulbs say CH lighting on them... No brand on the fixture... Are these good lights? the problem I am running in to is that this fixture is too big for my 55gal tank... and I cant figure out how to place it to actually use it... other wise I will need to sell these and try to get different lights!

looks like a t5 fixture to me too. you could hang it from the ceiling or check out this - Google (bent pipe light hanger ) Its a diy light hanger that attaches to your stand.
