I'm planning to build a full hood for my 125 gallon tank. Eventually, I want to
put in three rows of high-intensity fluorescents and one row of actinics.
Moonlights would also be jammed in there somewhere.

I hope to buy just the lamp fixtures and mount them in the hood, rather than buy
commercial lights. Does anyone know of a source for these?

What you are wanting to buy is a retro kit.
hamiltontechnology.com is one place. There are a number of
places that sell retro kits.

George,

Try www.reefgeek.com.  Check out the Ice Cap T5 Retrofits.  I think if
you are only going with 3 bulbs you could get a 660 and a 440 ballast
for the day / night effect.  It's a little spendy, but you definitely
get what you pay for with IceCap.
