I have a 15owatt MH clamp on fishneedit fixture on my 29 gallon. Id like to get some t5 lighting on there as well to balance out hte blueish 8000k MH bulb. Thing is it needs to be a narrow fixture or else it will block out some of hte MH, iwant to put it all the way to the back of the tank or get 2 single fixtures and put one hugging the front of hte tank and one hugging the back. This coralife 18x1 Linear t5 aqualight is only 2.25" wide and hte double strip is only 3" which should be good. Thing is they use 28.25" bulbs. This is weird to me. Where I can i find other bulbs for this other the the 10k one coralife makes. Im using this lighting only for viewing pleasure and to balance out hte MH so I need a fixtuer that can use a bulb that has red in it. I dont know if they make a GE 9325 t5 bulb but id like something close to that. Should I find a fixture that uses regular size 24" t5 or t5hos? I think the hagen glo single 24" fixture is pretty narrow as well and adjusts to fit a 30" tank but I cant find width dimensions on it. Anyone know this? Any thoughts here?
