t5 lighting

[socalracer]

after a little research i decided i wanted to get a t5 lighting fixture b/c of its cost and and effectiveness, anyways i have a 60 in tank and all i can find is 48 in fixtures.....is anyone using a 48in fixture on a 60 in tank? will the 6 in on the ends of the tank receive enough light?

you can always go with a retroftit kit so this way you can out as many bulbs in your hood that you want and whatever length as well.. ALSO keep looking there are 60" units out there!!

I have a retro with 3 x 80watts, 60" that I just purchased and have been very pleased with it.
