This doesn't really answer my question...or at least I don't think it does. I'm not looking for 30" lights. I'm sure 24" lights will work. What I need is a fixture that will fit my 30" tank. It is a standard sized tank, so shouldn't there be fixtures available that will sit on top that hold 24"...

I have been having problems with guppies dying in one of my tanks for a few months now and I really don't know why. I currently have a 55 gallon cichlid tank, 10 gallon fry tank, and a 29 gallon community tank. The problem I have been having is in the community tank. I have a pengiun 350 dual...
