Looking for advice for lighting for a 32 inch deep tank.

This week the blue channel on my LED crapped out, leading to me to look at my options, and realizing how overpriced this industry can be. Slap on 'Marine' in front of everything and there goes a 200% markup. Which gets me to my point. If I want to do t5's, can I not simply buy a regular t5 HO fixture from HomeDepot or a gardening supply store (grow light) and use it? I look at the ATI's and other vendors and for $600+, can't seem to find the value in some sheet metal and a couple of fans. Maybe I'm missing something. For sizing, I have a 120xl tank, 18wide, 5ft long.....would 48" length be adequate or would the full 60" be ideal? I couldn't find sizing recommendations.

I recently bought a bunch of bulbs for over my tank. The order included 2 x 48" ATI B+ T5s, 2 x 250w Radiums, and a 150x Phoenix 14K DE bulb. I had a very special shipping request and a guy named Crash at www.soslightbulbs.com was awesome. He took great care of me. And beside that, they have the best prices on these bulbs that I was able to find at the time. I would encourage anyone still running halides to check this site out when you need to replace them. http://www.soslightbulbs.com/ Bruce
