I buy all my fixtures from aquatraders.com. Very cheap!! But you may need to switch out two of the bulbs if you need blue. I'm not exactly sure.
I found a 48" here with 4 54 watt and 4 blue led. They don't sell fixtures with blue bulbs for planted tanks. I assume this is what it's for. Anyway, all for $98!

eBay would be the best bet surely?

I know I've seen some "hong kong" fittings before, you would probably want to replace the bulbs that come with it though.

i want nothing to do with replacing bulbs

its cheap, doesnt come with bulbs and is a bit overkill for my needs im thinking, however i will thank you very much for going out of your way to help me out. people on this site have been really helpful with lots of information for me while iv been researching for my tank.
