Hey guys,
I'm in the works of possibly picking up a 72L x 30W x 24H. Let me know what you guys recommend. Do they make 72" ATI fixtures anymore? I prefer not to do 2 x 36" fixtures cause it's just not going to be cost effective with all the bulbs I'll have to buy. TIA

I don’t think they make 6’ fixtures. Outer orbit and aquaticlife use to make one. Outer orbit were combo ones T5 and my, aquatic life was a 72” that used 12x 36” bulbs.

No 6ft fixtures out there. More than likely, if you want to go T5, it'll have to by a 60" fixture or 2 36" fixtures.

Nice dims, Will. If it's eurobraced you'll only be a 2-3" in from that bracing with a 5' ATI.
