20" t5 lighting

Has anyone had experience using this small of a fixture on something like a nano cube. If so what brand is good and pics are welcome

Problem with the 20" fixtures is a lack of bulb selection.

Yea that's what I figured

UV lighting makes 20" bulbs but the only place I have found them was premium aquatics. so you can get decent bulbs for the fixture. I have an odyssea 4x18w fixture and it does a pretty good job, especially for the price. I know people will say they burn hoses down and all that but I have never had a single problem and for the money its hard to beat if you're trying to stick to a budget.

Not worried about budget..... I think I prefer t5 lighting over led. I think I would do a t5 led combo but that would have to be on a bigger tank.
