i got mine @ home depot for my 75g for $10 it was just the right size, i did clip out the back to make room for the skimmer & things like that, you will find them where the lights are, they go in the long lights you see in the work shops & the office,

Why would you not be able to link to another board? I see this done quite frequently actually. Even if there would be such a rule I doubt that referencing another aquarist works would even raise an eyebrow.
