I've been unsuccessful in finding a DIY light guide that would work for me or fixing my existing light (its just way to corroded - its dead). So I'm getting a used JBJ formosa DX with new bulbs (2x96) for $75 to replace my dead lights. It doesnt come with a stand. I always have the option to hang it over the tank from the ceiling, but I'm trying to come up with alternatives. Heres the reason: The light is 36". My tank is 39" or so (I measured again last night). Most legs/stands I've found for any type of 36" light won't expand so they wouldn't fit my tank. However, I dont want a 48" that will hang over the side, which has been suggested to me. I can't find any measurements on the DX stand that would indicate how far it will expand. I can always make my own legs, I guess, depending on how crafty I wanna get. Any advice/suggestions? My head is about to explode after all this lighting drama!
