T5's in compact unit?

[ChilledReefer]

Hello I have a red sea max nano and I'm wondering if there is a T5 lighting unit that is compact enough to fit over this tank?  If not do the Radion units grow coral (SPS) just as well?

 

Thanks for your help

I believe I responded to your question on R2R, but I don't think so. The smallest size most T5 come in is 24" to my knowledge. You would have to let the fixture hang over the sides of the tank a bit. Radions will definitely grow SPS, many amazing tanks run them. If I was in your position I'd probably just stick with LED unless you mind a big fixture hanging over the tank.

Thanks, I  think I will stick to LEDs

Yeah the smallest T5 you can get is 24". If you have a Radion,just get a ReefBrite add-on kit 🤷‍♂️
