This is just my opinion but i also have a 72" tank and was looking for a 72" light fixture forever, ended going with a 60" 8 bulb power module and love it. I was worried that the edges would not have enough light but there is not a spot in my tank i cat grow my sps. It is just something to consider, another is the 5 foot bulbs can be difficult to find in Edmonton little lone Red Deer. Just a thought and good luck finding a light.

Thanks for the heads up, I think I will take your advice and go this route. Now I just need to figure out a way to mount it without going the ceiling hangar route as I have a vaulted ceiling about the tank.

I can testify to this, got it see Wes's awesome tank in person and all I can say is WOW. Tank was amazing and the light coverage was perfect.

Adam we can build some custom brackets coming up from the back and over the tank to hang a light & make it adjustable in height.

Has anyone of you seen any T5 lighting for sale in the Red Deer area, 4ft in length?

Only when I was selling my 4 - 4 bulb Odysseas, I still have 1 left but it's still in use ATM. Any idea what your looking for exactly Darcy?

I was just thinking of something simple to upgrade the classroom tank lighting. I might grab a couple of Home Depot thingies....maybe wait until the summer. :)

Are you classroom tanks FOWLRS? I am thinking of getting some cheap LED panels from EBay to try on my FOWLR.
