I recently acquired a Marlineland 47 Column Tank. The dimensions are 20" w. x 18" d. x 31" h. I was fascinated with the the smaller footprint and the height, and want to use it for a planted tank. My previous tanks, not quite as tall, had plants over growing the height and leaning sideways.
I'm having a hard time finding a 20" long fixture for the tank that will produce enough light for the depth. Current-USA has the 6 bulb T5HO which is designed for reef tanks, and a bulb change may adapt it well. There are also a few metal halide options. Other than that most options are for a 24" fixture, which I'd prefer to not use. I'd prefer a 4 bulb T5HO with LED moonlighting. Can anyone please make a suggestion for an appropriate light fixture for this tank?
Happy New Year!
