I'm running the 6 bulb fixture on my standard sized 75. I'd have loved to go with the 8 bulb fixture but it's just too wide. Gary at reefgeeks will also give you great advice on what bulbs to choose, depending on your future coral needs. Don't think about removing bulbs, think more in terms of raising the fixture if needed.
The depth is 18". I think the 6 bulbs would fit lovely.

I also see that there's Nova Extreme Pro which has individual reflectors as well, but I have yet to find anyone carry it in Canada. I think I might end up with the tek since I've found someone here that carries it.

The price is around $600 with the mount, legs, bulbs, 6 bulbs fixtures. Seeing the price difference not too far off from MH fixtures, would there be any reason I should stay T5? (Other than heat)
