I'm looking for a 2 x T5NO fixture that includes a moonlight for my 75 gallon tank. Anyone know of one? I see Catalina offers moonlights as an add on to their fixtures, but I don't see where they offer T5NO fixtures, only HO ones. Has anyone added Catalina's moonlight kit to a Coralife 2 x T5NO fixture? I was thinking of doing that also, but it's kinda hard to see how it works from the picture. It appears to be connected to a transformer which is then direct wired into the existing fixture. I've never owned a Coralife fixture, but I assume their wiring is accessible?

It will sit on top of the tank and be approximately 19" from the substrate. I'm looking to get low to low-medium light out of this, nothing more. I'm not interested in using CO2.

Yeah, I'm thinking about buying it but would like some feedback on the other one. Since it has moonlighting, I figured it might be worth the extra few dollars.

I have same lights as you and am looking for moonlights. I have about settled on these. They also sell in a 48 inch model.

If you're considering buying a new fixture I would get a T5HO (more options) and use the screen door mesh as discussed over here http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/lighting/118515-78-watt-t5ho-30-gallon-question.html
