I want to be able to keep a mixed reef. In my current 65g setup, I mostly have soft corals and a few lps. Im just wondering how a t5 setup would look since the max bulb length is 60 in. I could stagger 36 in bulbs. Im just not sure how many bulbs and weather I should overdrive them or not. I want to try and avoid MH due to heat and electric. Im just wondering if anyone has done this kind of setup and how it turned out.

Aquactinic makes a fixture for a 72in tank. It has 14-39watt bulbs.I am looking at this fixture for my 180, good luck.
