This has been the best post for learning what to look for in lighting.

I have a 72" long tank by 18" wide and 25" deep. With about 3" of substrate

I just upgraded to a 72" t5ho fixture by Nova Extreme Pro. 12 T5HO's in total (36" bulbs)

Anyone have a recommendation on the best mixture of T5HO's at a good price that would be decent for my plants?

I plan on doing the dawn dusk period along with the "SIESTA" period lol.

Any ideas would help me out a lot!
