Fixtures:

Lighting fixtures are made up of the housing that actually sits on, or hangs above your aquarium. These lighting fixtures are often made of aluminum and are very lightweight. Fixtures can have several great advantages. Some will have cooling fans to help keep heat away from your aquarium, and some will even have adjustable legs. When picking out a fixture be sure to check the length of your tank and buy a fixture that will fit that length. Often time fixtures will come with lights but make sure to read and research the products and know if they come with lights or not. If the fixture you want does not come with lights you can check out our Aquarium Bulbs section. If you are not sure feel free to ask our customer service. There are two types of fixtures, regular lighting fixtures and Retrofit fixtures. Retrofit fixtures are only lights, ballasts, and reflectors and are made to be put into an existing canopy or housing.We have sorted fixtures into different categories according to what their main source of lighting is, these categories include Compact Fluorescent Fixtures, Metal Halide Fixtures, and Tube Fluorescent Fixtures.
