Aquatic Life does have fixtures in a size that holds 4 60" T5 bulbs. Unfortunately, the lighting industry has yet to discover a way to dim 5' T5s, so you'll have to settle for a 60" non-dimmable fixture.

Wow! That's a great price! I'm paying $35 for a 200g box of Instant Ocean in northern NJ.
Many years back I would drive down to the Hidden Reef (before the Chinese take-out next door caught fire and destroyed their business for several years) to stock up on their cheap price of Crystal Sea...
