I have a 125g aquarium with a coors light pool table light which is only 36" in length. Does anyone have any cheap ideas on how i can properly light my tank for my oscars?
 
I use the cheap 20 and 24" aqueon lights around my 300. I think they go for around 30-30 bucks a piece. I have one dual t5 strip in the middle, but all the rest are the aqueons. Bulbs included.
 
I picked up a 48" t8 fixture utility work light with a 10" reflector from home depot today. I bought clear tube guards that you slip the t8 into. I have it sitting on my glass lids.
I am using 5000k bulbs, might try the 6500k out or a colormax 5500k and mix them up.
