I currently have a mixed reef setup with 2 PC fixtures. Both fixtures are Corallife Lunar Aqualights, so I'm pushing about 760 watts over a 125 gal. tank. I would love to streamline into a 72" T5 setup. What fixture gets the best recommendation? I do have some Acropora and a large RBT anemone, so I need to push strong light. What would you recommend for total bulbs. I know the watt/gal. rule is thrown out. I found a U.S. made fixture on Ebay. Here is the link.

On this 72" fixture there is 8x80 watt bulbs (5 foot bulbs) and they are asking around $650. What are your thoughts. Any advice would be appreciated.
