I just picked up a new 72 Gallon Oceanic Bow Front! Problem is, it didnt come with a glass top, nor canopy. I'm having the glass cut but I still need a light fixture. BTW if anyone has the full top to this tank, please let me know. I'm open to suggestions and i havent decided on compact or regular fluorescent. The tank is 48" Length X 23" Height X 13" Depth. Oh and this will be a planted freshwater tank.
Thanks for looking, and if you do have something for me, email me with a price.

thanks for those links, im actually strapped for cash and was looking to possibly buy some used lights. on my 72 bowfront, there is a center support piece at the top and if i get a 48 in light, will the light eventually melt the plastic on that center piece? would i need to get 2 24" lights?

there are legs or splash guards so the bulbs wont set right on top of it.
