"6 lamp T5 HO 54W 4' Saltwater Aquarium light fixture - $120"

There are two shown and the price is just for one of them.

I'm putting together a low tech 180g (6ft long), so obviously even one of these is going to be overkill. But I'm thinking I might be able to cannibalize one for parts and it'll come out cheaper than a real retrofit kit.

Am I nuts?

I want to be able to put the lights in a canopy, which is why I wanted to take it apart. If I keep the whole fixture intact, would it be a good idea to put inside an enclosure? Would I need any special cooling? What about the fact that the fixture is 4 ft but the tank is 6 ft?
