Ya I see your point Steve. Only MH right now, Phoenix 14K bulbs. Lights are about 9-10" off water as it is now. Can you get single T5 48" reflectors??

ya you can buy retrofit reflectors, just have to build a way to hold them.. if you are doing and enclosed canopy then it shouldn't be to hard.

Hmmm, I could even go 4 tube maybe, 2 in front 2 in back where is a good place in Canada to get lighting parts? JL/OA want MORE for 2 2 bulb TEK retrofit's than 1 4 bulb TEK fixture!!! Same bulbs/ballasts, less hardware, more $ go figure.
