Rob,
During the show you said that you knew of a hanging fixture that is 8' long holding HQI MH and T5's. Any chance you have a link to those fixtures?
Thanks
Steve

[lReef lKeeper]

the longest i have ever seen is 72" (6 feet). If it can be found though, Rob can find it.

[stevek]

I hope he can.
The longest I have found is 72" as well.

I did manage to find an 8ft light fixture, alas, it's not exaclty reef ready or suitable (best available was 5k bulbs) and pretty low wattage!! was the only 8ft fixture of any kind I could find anywhere! If there is one out there im sure Rob will find it !

Power Strip 192W 5000K 277V 8FT T8 Fluorescent Fixture @ Businesslights.com

You could always make a 96" DIY fixture using 2 x 48" retrofit kits ?

I just wanted to stop by, and say:

The TalkShoe Recordings are not available (and haven't been for 3 days). They should be available by tomorrow afternoon (EST) from what their Product Manager tells me.

P.S. I will let you all know when the TRL episodes are back up on the TalkShoe site.

Thanks,
Josh
