Lighting fixture size?

[oceanicblue]

Looking to purchase new T5 lights for my 180. Looking for opinions on either getting (2) 36" or (1) 72" fixture(s). Any benefits from one to the other?

Is it not cheaper to get one bigger fixture? Cost of bulbs and the fixture itself?

Need more info... T5's don't come in 72" bulbs... So you'd have to do 2 x 36 or if they are staggered 48"... Just make sure to get a fixture with individual reflectors if you go T5's...

Kinda wish they made 72" bulbs. But they do offer a 72" fixture with 36" bulbs. Individual reflector is a must.
