I have a standard 35 hex that has a standard T8 bulb - 6500k fixture that came with this tanks hood. OK for fish, but I want to plant it!
I know that the with my depth, nothing less than a pair of T5 HO will do. But with this hoods small dimensions I am finding it difficult to locate any thing but one fixture...I know there has to be more-but these are essentially what I want or brighter.

Any other options out there for a visibly pleasing fixture that will fit the 19.5" x 4.25" open glass insert in my prefabbed hood? Or do I need to look for an all glass hod so I can get a good CFL in there?
Any thoughts on retrofit kits for the current 19.5x 4.25 single bulb fixture? like a single 36watt CFL? New to the over-lighting arena- I think I got the over filtering part down!
Thanks!
