Any t5 lighting for an 18" cube

[Johnv281]

Having a hard time finding a fixture that fits my nano. Does anyone know where i can get one ?

Cadlights used to make one. Current USA used to make one.

The problem is the bulbs. Good luck finding good bulbs at that size. I would recommend you just go MH.

Nope. You're stuck with LED's or MH. You can use T5 with a 3 inch overhang on each end....but......

You may be able to find a stash of the UVL bulbs somewhere for that size fixture.

MHs gives off too much heat.

I would personally recommend a pair of A160s, pointing down, slightly toward the center, slightly toward the rear. Just my opinion.

T5 over a 18" cube can be done but its wasting the full potential of an ATI/Giessmann 2 foot fixture due to light spilage. Best option would be metal halide like Cabo Sun or small Cayman Sun with 250 watt radium hanging .
Depending on the place , you can achieve cooling by normal multiple fans on the sump ...

A bimini sun with a 250W Radium or whatever won't be too much heat. Hell it's not like the fixture is going to be super close to the water anyway.
