T5 Lighting for a 6.5 gallon

[Kehaulani]

Hey guys,
I have a 6.5 pico tank. I currently have a AI Prime on it for lighting but I was wondering just out of curiosity if they make a small enough t5 setup for a tank that small. I have some SPS frags in the tank. Just looking for ideas is all

Thanks

Could you provide the dimensions? You could use almost any size T5 fixture you wanted, it just depends on how much light spill you can deal with.

The tank is approximately 16 in long by 11 1/2 inch wide. It's not very big

Your Prime is totally sufficient. I'm not aware of T5s small enough to make sense for your application. If you want other options, the Kessil A160 would be nice.

I assumed that the prime would be good but just wanted to get other opinions. Thanks I appreciate it. I saw online that they make a 12 in t5 bulb by coral life but the fixture had horrible reviews so that's why I asked

This is probably an option since you can hang it. I have this fixture for 2 years and no issues. Bulbs are ATI- Coral plus and True Actinic:
