T5 Lighting for 80 Gallon BowFront

Hi Guys,

I'm in need of your help! I have a 80 Gallon RR tank. Its 48x24x12 (18" at the deepest point of the bow) and I'm trying to get as much light into a canopy as possible without Halides.

Every retrofit kit I find has standoffs that are 2.5" so that means I can only get 4 48" bulbs in the canopy instead of 6.

I've considered going with 4 48" and 2 36" but I was hoping someone would have a better suggestion for me.

I'm currently using a 6 Bulb Nova Extreme Pro fixture that measures 48"x12" but it uses 1 single reflector that is bent around each bulb and I don't think its really reflecting as much as it should.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!
