Two Lumia 5.2's on 12" heatsink?

hey guys - I'm looking into a DIY build using the Lumia 5.2. The initial setup will only utilize one 5.2 for my IM Nuvo 8, but I'd like to be able to easily add another 5.2 down the road, especially if I end up moving from the Nuvo 8 to a 20-30g custom build. What would be my best options as far as the heatsinks go? The Nuvo 8 is 12" long, and I don't want a huge heatsink over such a small aquarium. Should I do the 12" heatsink and center the 5.2 for now, or just do one 6" heatsink, then just do another 6" heatsink if/when I do another 5.2 (or even upgrade to an 18" heatsink at that point)?

 

I plan on building a custom arm for the light/heatsink and running the wires to a custom box for the power supply/drivers...

Take a look at ASIs cnc heatsinks. They look really sleek

 

Yeah, I like my makers heat sink a lot but those CNC ones are sexy as hell.

I've seen those in the past, definitely very nice looking! Just trying to keep my money spent a little lower. I also won't really mind a more "diy" or "industrial" look to it, so I'll probably stick with the makers version.
