I may upgrade the T12's to T5's someday but they look fine to me. The pictures do not do it justice. Now I can get...

    Hello again, If I wanted to buy a VHO retro kit for my tank (48"x24"x24"), what size would I have to order. Let's suppose I'm getting it from PA. I'm not sure what the sizes they display represent: the tank size or the actual tube length. If it is tube length, then I'd have to order a...
