Charles,

I can't really give much advice for you in the States as things are no
doubt different to here but the unit I would go for is two double slim
line fittings. These are sold by the thousand to the general electrical
contractor trade for commerical lighting. The units we get here are
about 5 - 6 inches wide so two will easily fit into your space.

Try somewhere that sells electrical fittings to the general electrical
trade. They are going to be cheaper than any specialised store. I'm sure
you can rig something up to support the fittings so they fit into your
tank with a piece of wood or sheet Aluminum.

I'd make it for you myself if I lived a bit nearer. ;-)

Regards,
