There is a low cost T5HO single strip light fixture that you can get at most hydroponics stores...called SunBlaze. They can be daisy chained together to form multiple tubes on only one plug. I fitted them into my Aqualight Pro to replace the PC's and wow, great lights.

Cheaper yet is Catalina Aquarium....

I'm quite happy with mine, and it cost me $350 taxes, shipping and duty paid to Canada. Includes bulbs and led's as well.

It's all in my thread here (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=42235&highlight=catalina)

Good luck

i just went to the grow shop and bought a 4 foot t5 for $45 they are daisy chainable, and seem to work quite nicely. the shop i went to was even kind enough to give me whatever color spectrum i wanted.

At the hydroponics store in Maple Ridge they have the 4 footers for about 35 with bulb.....I think they a choice of 6700 and 10k. You can daisey chain up to 8. They also have 2 and 3 footers.
