Canopy with metal halides-What co. puts it togeather?

John Hartford · 02/17/2006, 12:18 PM

I am in the process of setting up a 210 reef tank. I want to have a wood canopy on the top of the tank with the metal halides attatched to the canopy. I talked to hamilton tech, in which they can install the metal halides onto a canopy that they sell, but the dimensions of their canopy are 72" long by 12" wide...while my tank dimensions are 72" long by 24" wide.

I don't know much about retrofits, and would feel comfortable if a had some company that could just give me one complete product.

Just to make sure you realize it, with most retro kits, everything is already wired and the fixtures are mounted on the reflector. All you need to do is screw the reflector to the canopy, attach/screw in the bulbs, and plug it in. It is really no big deal.
