Is it possible to buy a t5 fixture for dual bulb at 19 inch? I am considering supplementing my kessil A 160 TB, considering options to have dual fixtures. lets see what you guys got!

Salty what are your thoughts on adding supplemental t5 on 25 gallon 20 inch deep cube with the kessil.
it would be awfully cool! You could diy, and take the guts from a fixture like that and make a hood/fixture.
OR look at one like this http://www.marineandreef.com/Coralife_Aqualight_T5_HO_2_Lamp_Aquarium_Lighting_Fixtures_s/580.htm
There Is a difference between HO and vho so I have no Idea how much they put out.
Sadly Geismann and ati only make a 22 in tube.

how wide is the tank?

I'm a lighting guy. That the other reason I like canopys. I can stuff alll kinda in there. I bounces around more and makes its softer too for even less shadowing. You can line it w white or silver too.

And they do make a 150mh for a tank that small to that clips on if ya wanna get stupid.
I looked for one for my 30cube.

But if the mini Flo fixture is easy to mount you could totally slap the kessil to it. At 12in it should do pretty good. Less would be better.

Yes, That is sweet!

I've talked to @saltyfilmfolks long enough to know if I changed my lighting, I'd get his input before making a final decision.

He's like: That would work but have you thought about this...

SFF is a reef lighting junkie :)
