Did the fixture arrive in that condition? I may be a bit confused here but UPS or OOPs as we call them around here may be more responsible for these lights condition
I received some LED moonlighting from the site in question and noticed when tracking the package using UPS ground that there where three different load/unload points if you count the one local to get from west coast to east. This gives a lot of opportunity for damage.

Imagine that, I buy a 48" t-5 hood, and 48" t-5 don't fit the hood. I had to unscrew the bulb caps and take out the fan so the bulbs would fit. That is a sham!
The first pictures shows the box it was shipped in. Other online venders usually double box things like that with popcorn or air pockets.
The fixture does work. But if I buy a 48" fixture please send a 48" fixture not a 43" fixture. The whole unit is not even 48" but 47".
Aqua-traders buy at your own risk!!!

Thanks fishamajig.
I was able to retro fit the 48" bulbs now. It is not pretty because the bulbs are sort of floating around. It is a nice looking fixture though. Reminds me of the coralife product. My only wish is that it would nicely hold 48" bulbs.
I have on top of my tank now, and it is working nicely so far. I got a new camera, so I'll snap a few tonight.
On our reef journey, the easiest path is not always the best path.

do you mean so it stays in the metal clips and not fall out? if so i just used small zip ties and it did the trick
