where to buy 72" florescent lighting or suggestions on lighting for fowlr

[saltyESQ]

I would get two 36", but my tank is eurobraced therefore the lights would fall in the tank. This is going to be a fowlr tank, so I figured 3-4 bulbs would work and I am not looking to spent a lot.

I don't have a canopy so a retro will not work for me. I have checked out all the sponsors sites but they don't have anything that large.



ideas would also be appreciated

Hang 2 36" fixtures from the ceiling

doubt ceiling damage will be permitted

Hamilton makes 6ft lighting which can be purchased from Jeff's. At that length, I would advise you to hang it or else the fixture will bow after time from the weight. It would also let you be able to raise the fixture if you needed to work on the tank. If you really want to have a fixture that long on stands, then I would have the fixture custom made to do it. I believe Hamilton may do that for you as a special order.

I forgot to mention, at that length, you might have trouble getting by without spending a lot of money (at least a few hundred w/ PC's).
