Before I get bashed, I DID USE THE SEARCH OPTION, I always do...
Looking for some ideas for lighting for a 30g. Want the suspended light with legs and possible LED options. Any ideas? for example... Drilling holes and inserting LED christmas lights into a suspended fixture.

Open really to anything. would love to have an actinic option.

OR is anyone selling a 30" fixture?
 
Are you looking for a hood and lighting?

Heres what I did for one of my 55 gallons

Bought metal shelfing for $5 and a $10 light from Home Depot. You could get a piece of glass for under $10 but you will have to cut it to size, thats why I went with the metal shelfs.
