what did you buy just the bulbs? retrofit?? or a light unit some light units have adjustable sliding legs but you will still have 6" overhang or i have seen some people just lay the light on top of the tank if its a unnit that is, need more info and pics if you have them im sure someone will have a good idea

It's a whole fixture.

i have a simmilar 48"light those legs slide in and out to adjust to your tank, should work fine no hanging needed

YES, t5 4 bulbs 2 daylight and 2 actinic with the 4 moon lights, the bulbs that came with it are crap you will see when you get it !! i quickly replaced the bulbs with the 2 Marine Glo and 2 Power Glo from Hagen that i got from my LFS way better than the crappy bulbs they send with it. i guess thats how they sell them soooo cheap. but seems to be great since i changed the bulbs
