Looking for 18" T5s

[junkboxhero]

Hi All

Looking for somewhere to get x2 18" T5's from, at the moment i am running x2 15w T8 in a 100l tank which is almost fully planted beginning to think this isnt enought? also what wattage T5 should I go for?

Thanks

I don't think they exist. What are the tanks Dimensions?

The tank is a Fluval 90 roma 60 cm W x 35 cm D x 50 cm H.

At the moment it has a Twin GLO T8 lighting canopy. Was also thinking of taking the plastic bracing off around the tank and fitting a Luminaires not sure if this is safe.

have just seen these, think they might be better than the current t8's

For a cheap boost t6's are ideal. T5's are a massive boost compared to t8, you'd be using standard 24w ones over your tank, My old tank is 60x30x30 and I used 2 tubes, depending on what you want you could almost certainly use 4.
