Hi

From my understanding, there is no T5H0 for 1.5ft. If there is, I am also keen to get 1.

T5 length should be around 55mm. Unless you dont mind it spanning abit over your 45cm tank. Acardia have these lights but as to casing, the luminaire overhead seems rather rare as Qian hu hasnt brought in any for the past 4 months.

Check DElightings as well.

Well, practically impossible to fit 45cm. I think the closest is 2ft. With the tube length of 55m, add in connector and some clearance, 60cm is the ideal.

Ya, when i first started out a nano, its was quite difficult finding lights that some people were using for their 2 FT, e.g T5 /acardia in their planted tanks. Abit disappointing that these light manufacturers only cater to the large tank segments.

Agreed torque6...higher wattage lightings for smaller tanksets are often ignored due to the majority of 2FT and above tank owners?Though i did see a very nice light used for marine awhile ago...it's called the viper or something like that.I believe its a 70watts lighting?Looked damn good with a killer price to match!

hi all,

sigh then sian liao.. i emailed a distributor in kl and they too told me the shortest that they have is for 2ft tank. sad...

Bro

I suggest you look for 4 x 15W FL light for your tank. 1.5ft should be available.
