I would go with VHO bulbs. I have never seen a 6' T5 bulb. Also, IMO much better color out of an actinic blue VHO versus the same in T5. Try URI.

the longest t5's are 5', which i use on a 6' 180 with great results. i would go with the ati blueplus, great bulb with loads of blue to counteract the 10k xm's
