Help please, can someone with this fixture let me know the exact length of the fixture with and without the legs. I am trying to fit it into a hood. Its a 36 Inch Coralife Lunar Aqualight T5 Lamp High Output Fixture with 4 bulbs.
Thank you.

I did the exact same thing with the exact same fixture. (I took the legs and end caps off) I will give you exact measurments this afternoon (just let me know what measurments you need/want) when I get home from work if you have not got them already given the date of your thread.

Im my case a hood/canopy would not be possible with the fixtures legs attached as they hang over the edge in the tank; unless you designed and built your canopy to slip over and only be supported by the front and back, or had a glass top and adjusted the legs in more so the fixture would be supported/sitting on the glass top.

I have a build thread if you want to check it out and maybe get some ideas for the canopy. Here is the link.

Page 2 is the canopy build I believe.

I have no cooling issues what so ever having the/a fixture in the/a hood. There is a small gap on either side of the fixture in the hood and with the removal of the end caps, airflow is good even with the single fan.
