Aquactinics makes a 14 bulb T5 fixture that is 72" long. I own one and it rocks.

Engine 7, was thinking of moving from 250w MH/T5 combo to just t5 on my next build and using this exact fixture. How long have you had the fixture on your tank? How deep is your tank? What corals are you keeping? and how do you like/work the dusk to dawn effect?

I have it over a 30" deep tank. I have had the fixture going for 3 months. I run the lights with my Reefkeeper 2 which turns the 3 different plugs on/off. I love it. i still dont put clams and acros low though.

so the dust to dawn effect (moonlights) are controlled by turning on and leaving on 1 row for the moonlight effect? Does that work ok IYO? Also, I have a RK2 and love it! Super piece of equipment IMO!

If you have the money, go with the Aquactinics Constellation Series. Awesome light fixture. I too seen one in person at MACNA. If I had the money one of those would be over my tank.

There are no moonlights on the Constellation fixtures. There are only 3 different plugs that operate the bulbs that can be set up to turn the lights on/off gradually.
