Lights

Hey all, I just bought a Nova Extreme 8x54 watt t5 light for my 75 gallon reef tank. The problem is it won't fit in my canopy due to fan placementon the side as well as height. I believe my canopy is 8 inches high with smoke glass on top and the back is open. I love my canopy so I'm going to return the light fixture. Are there any suggestions on another light fixture that will work under the canopy or a ready retrofit kit. If so where should I get it and what brand? Thanks in advance!

teklight makes a decent T5 HO retrofit, reasonably priced
