I think that the plastic reflectors were a design error and the ballasts are not heavy duty enough.

The overheating issue does not explain failures in both fixtures.

Yeah I agree that 6" should be enough space , were both fixtures pointing the same direction, or were they blowing into each other? I guess with 6" space in between you must have had a little overhang on both ends of the tank ?
