LF: 30'' T5 fixture

[MGP]

I'm looking for a 30'' light fixture for my 20long to retrofit some LEDs into. All I need is the fixture and mounting legs so I'm not looking to spend a lot of money

Just checking to see if anyone had anything laying around, or if anyone had any ideas

Thanks

To don't believe they make a 30 inch. It goes 24-36inches

Yes, a 24" will work just fine. I did that about 10 years ago on my 20 long. Worked great.

I bought this one online and I am happy with it. I only got it to test T5 lights on my tank since I have used LEDs since the beginning and they work fine. I did have to replace all the bulbs they come with, but other than that, I have no complaints.

4 bulbs would be more than enough. And in a shallow tank like that, I wouldn't even want individual reflectors with 4 bulbs. I used individual reflectors in mine (with 4 bulbs) and it was too much light for some corals. I had to place things accordingly. If you go with 2 bulbs only, then you may want individual reflectors.

Hey guys, Thanks for the input

I am not looking for a working t5 light, just the fixture so i can put some LEDs into it.

Basically what I am hoping is that someone has an old fixture that doesn't work or have any bulbs, I'm not going to be using any T5s, just LEDs.

Something with legs that can span 30 inch tank


Any other ideas in terms of housing LEDs for this tank are welcome too

Edit: It can be a working fixture if the price is low enough. I'm going to gut it anyways though

Lol sorry, missed that.

Oh well, no luck. I will just make a fixture out of Oak
