What is the smallest T5 lighting one could buy? I'm looking around but it seems they don't have anything that will fit nicely under the hood of a Biocube 14.

Anyone know of any T5's that small? Am I just not searching hard enough?

I don't want to remove my hood because my fish tend to be jumpers. I've rescued them from the back several times, those silly buggers.

I think 24" is the smallest.

I checked Nanotuners, but they are 24'. I need something that cannot exceed 12 inches.

I don't think they make any HO T5's at the size I want. I'm gonna probably have to bite the bullet and go for a metal halide - in which I really don't want to do because of the heat. My GOD THE HEAT! Then that'll force me to buy a chiller and I'm too poor to do all that.

I have seen some 12" and 18" along the way, but you are severely limited in bulb choice
