Default Looking for recommendations for a new light fixture

Looks like a Wayne Sallee engineered setup to me. I have to agree with
reefbay, his work as well as your work looks like a 2 years old did
it.

looking for a 48" PC fixture, preferably holding four 55w/65w lamps.
Ideally the electrical cords would come out of the back, not out of the
side as they do with the Aqualight.


Well it doesn't answer your particular question, but I've decided that
I definitely won't be using expensive aquarium units myself in future.
I used an inexpensive industrial spot type halide fitting for the
little nano tank I set up last month, it's got a 150W 10K MH bulb
bought separately. It sits well clear of the water and is not likely
to corrode any time soon, I'd seen them used with success over dealers
tanks. There is a bubbler in there, yet the salt doesn't get near it,
even though it's an open setup. Excuse the temporary top up
arrangements etc on shelf above, about to sort out a decent auto topup
for it and tidy up.
