T5 LED Hybrid suggestion needed

[dimasv]

So I decided to go with t5 hybrid fixture for my 72' tank.

Would the 4x bulbs 48' fixture be enough ? I dont really grow much on the ends of the tank just wanted something more compact compare to the 4x60'

In the middle I am going to put ap700.

Also which one is better ATI or Gisemann ?

I use a 24inch on my 36 long, works great and allows flexibility to put lower light stuff on the ends!

I have this Aquatic Life T5 fixture that allows a wide range of LED to be added between the T5 bars:

They also have 24, 48 and 61 inch long versions.
And it seems they just released a dimmable versions as well, though BRS doesn't have those yet.

You can certainly run a 4ft on a 6ft tank... I do a 2ft on a 4ft tank for 2 years now without problems...

And both brands are very good and you can't go wrong with either..

No..It isnt as bright but its barely noticeable and I have a shallow tank too (14" tall)...
T5 bulbs spread out the light just fine
