I have a 5 foot 120 gallon tank (60" wide x 18" deep x 22" tall) that I'm struggling to find a good solution for lighting. When I picked up the tank, it came with a matching 5 foot, single bulb T-12 fixture. The fixture isn't nearly enough to light the tank to my liking (the tank is in my family room, so it is a show tank more than anything else). I picked up a 4', double t-8 fixture when TFW closed down, but by itself it is still a little dark in the tank for my liking. I have been using both of the fixtures, but it is cumbersome because they take up so much room on top of the glass tops, I can't open the tank to do anything without having to take one of the fixtures down. Additionally, it looks crappy with two fixtures on the top of the tank.
So, I'm looking for affordable solutions for a single fixture that will effectively light the tank without costing a small fortune. I don't need anything to grow plants, just enough light to see the fish. Anyone have a good suggestion?
