If I could find a 72 inche fixture that'd be great, but all I can find available is 36 and 48. Two 36 inchers will work perfectly, but the tank braced are split into thirds, so no support in the middle where the ends of the fixtures will meet, and I don't trust anything balancing over the water. The good news is that the plates are sized to allow a few inches for filter systems in the back. Since I won't use filters hanging on the back, I have removed the plastic hinges connecting the plates (3 sets of 2 pieces were hinged together with plastic stripping) and can put that opening in the middle where the majority of the light will be.

I don't suppose anyone out there has a 72" fixture they want to do away with???
