Looking for an economic T5 system

I have a 40 gallon long reef tank that I'm trying to find a light fixture for.

It's 48" long and very very shallow. I am planning to put T5's on this tank.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy a 48" T5 light at a reasonable price..? I didn't want to spend 300 - 400 dollars ona tank this small....

A tek light or a current extreme nova PRO with individual reflectors will be your best bet. You can usually find the tek's on ebay for 225-250, or at the RC sponsors, premiium aquatics is good.
