30" Hood Fixture

Does anyone know of a manufacture that makes a 30" PFO Hood?
Looking to put a 150W HQI w/75W VHO's over this lame lighted
tank. If there is not one out there, I guess I will have to go with
putting legs on a 24" fixture.
 
No prob, main. I know its not a PFO, but I don't think they make what you want. If you get one let me know what you think. I'm looking into getting the same thing with a 250 in it.
 
You might consider searching this site. Seems there is some mixed feelings about them.

They seem to do business as Aqua Universe ,Aquarium Lights ,Pet Supply Liquidators, Catalina Aquarium.
 
Also check http://www.aquariumlight.com
They are also known as Cool Touch Lighting.
I have had one of their canopies (hoods) before and the quality was excellent, and they do custom work.
The best thing to do is call and talk to them about what you want...they are very helpful.
 
I tried the link that you gave me Richard. That is more of what I am looking for, but I tried to call and no answer. I tried emailing
them at 2 of the address' that they gave and they came back.
Oh well. You guys think that a 175 HQI w/75 VHO's is too much
for a 40gal tall? Richard...what me and you talked about with the zoa's stretching, they are in the central part of the tank. So I figured an additional 150W would put a stop to that. Or should I go with a 250 HQI w/T5's in a hood?:crazy1:
 
I found a custom 30" hood fixture. www.catalinaaquarium.com
Of course it was $434.00 I comes with a 250W mogul (bulb included) w/(2) 75W Sun VHO's, 6 LED moonlights w/variable light
dimmer, 4"fan, and all the ballasts, and leg kit. When it comes in, I'll try and post some pics.
 
Did do a search Dave and I do feel
good about it. Please feel free to
share your wonderous knowledge,
as I am not worthy. I stayed up till
4am this morning searching. PFO
and Hamilton said they do not make legs for their fixtures. I am
not hanging anything from the ceiling. www.aquariumlight.com
does not answer the phone nor
has a working email. Please tell
me where I should have looked.
 
No reason to take that "tone." What you get will not effect me in the least as it will not be in my house. You're a premium member and a quick search reveals a lot of negative exposure hence my above comment because I couldn't imagine dealing with that company ( in any of it's guises) for anything after reading just a fraction of the responses. So perhaps I'm the one that missed something wondrous shared about Catalina or anything else they call themselves. Your call ,your money, your house. I was just trying to save you some potential grief because you're going to have to be lucky ,it seems ,to have a good experience. I apologize if you felt slighted by my post. Good luck with it and enjoy.

WOW! Looks like your help wanted search is yielding some interesting applicants. Are those the new people working at the store?
