Looking for a 2 bulb 48" T5 retrofit kit to add to my Mars Aqua LEDs, I know there are a lot of good places to buy from online. Can someone give me a few websites please? I need the whole kit including reflectors, also looking for a decent place to purchase some aluminum to build lighting frame. Any ideas? Thanks

I already have the LEDs I'm looking for advice on adding two 48" T5s for supplement and color. My LEDs are 2 separate boxes just like yours minus the timer/moonlights, I will be building an aluminum frame to attach the LED boxes and T5's to. Any recommendations on the T5 kits?
I just got one of these. Comes with everything except the bulbs.

That's pretty much what I want. Did you do any shopping around to find best prices ? I could probably even get away with 36".

I'm even thinking about going 36" T5's centered over the tank it is just for supplement lighting and to give a little more color choices. I was thinking aluminum framing to keep the overall weight down. I have to come up with an open concept type of canopy due to my tank sitting directly under our heating/cooling vents in our basement. I can not hang the framing from the ceiling, so I'll need to come up with another way. I'll post pictures of what I am working with, only about 15" clearance between top of tank to duct work.
