Lighting Help Needed

I was thinking of getting the Nova Extreme Pro T5 setup for my 46g reef tank. This should let me keep pretty much anything, right?

So I was checking them out and they say that you can't use them in a canopy. Is there a retrofit version available? If not, what should I get that is the equivalent of that setup that I can mount in a custom canopy? I've never put together my own lighting before so I'm a bit lost.

Thanks!

Re: Lighting Help Needed

The Nova Pro will allow you to keep everything and anything.

For retro,the Icecap 660 prewired retros are the best.Note**the 39w are overdriven to 60w***
