Are you able to house those under a canopy or do you have to hang them?

T5s are like any other florecent bulb, but higher par. They usually come in a fixture like the coralife hoods for PCs.

Can anyone suggest a good brand and a place in which to purchase T5's.

Ocean Aquatics sells the excellent Teklight line from Sunlight Supply.

i have the 8 bulb, 4' sunlight supply tek light, and it's BRIGHT... very bright. i'm probably going to swap out some of the "PAR monster" bulbs for half-intense pure actinics... it's just too bright for my LPS/Softies.

I bought the lights because in my nano, lighted by PC lighting, I couldn't put anything in the bottom half of the aquarium. now in my 120 gallon, I can't put anything in the top half of the aquarium
