T12 aquarium fixtures: do they exist?

[Randrew215]

I inherited a 72 bowfront last year and converted it to freshwater for my axolotls. It came with a current nova extreme 4x48" T5 fixture. Even with two bulbs cranking, it's too much light for my axers. So I'm going a different route and I'm going to focus on a glow-in-the-dark tank. They have GFP spliced in, so they fluoresce. I'm adding fluorescent plastic plants and replacing my backing with astronomy stickers (similar to what lucky children sometimes have on their ceilings). But...
I ordered T5 48" blacklights and they delivered T12s. Can I get a T12 aquarium fixture? If I used a shop light, would I need to put something in place to waterproof? Do they make shop lights aesthetically pleasing enough to put on a tank? Thank you all.

If you're handy, you can build a nice hood that'll support T12s. I have a T12 fixture, but it's for a regular 75gal rectangular tank.

Unfortunately, I am not handy. Not. At. All.
I'm glad that you have a T12 fixture (because that means they exist). I'm going to do some research tomorrow.

You can get 4' T12 two bulb fixtures locally at The Fish Place on Robinson Rd in North Tonawanda.

Perfect. Many thanks.
