I'm looking for basically something like this:

http://shop.aquatraders.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=52202

24" or 36" T5 fixture with built in LED lunar lights that isn't priced really high. Separate power cords would be cool, or a built in timer.

Is there anything similar to the link above from another company? They are out of stock at aquatraders, and I don't really trust Odyssea to begin with.
 
You shouldn't have a problem with the Odyssea T5 lights, the only real problem they ever had was with the metal halide setups. I don't think your going to find a less expensive fixture with bulbs from another company. Aquatraders shipping is kind of rough but they replaced the two defective bulbs when I ordered my lights about a year ago. It's still working great by the way and it's the 24" version you were looking at. One word of advise is to not place the lights directly on the glass tops or heaven forbid the acrylic lids, the heat that the bulbs generate is enough to crack the glass top if water splashes onto it or really warp acrylic tops.
 
Yeah, they are out of the T5s, that's why I asked. I am thinking of going compact fluorescent, they have those in stock.
