The question here is what kinda coral are you wanting to keep?

72 bows are hard because they are so narrow at the ends. If you are using a canopy T5 reftro fits will work good. If you need a fixture a 4 x 54 watt ATI Sunpower would let you keep anything. So would something like a 2 x 250 watt Halide fixture. but I am not sure what is available in the right width for halide fixtures..
