2ft t5 on 3ft tank?

[Vested]

Its near impossible to find a t5 fixture that is 36" and not a hybrid or insanely expensive, would I be ok going with a 2ft fixture on a 90 gallon tank? I only plan on keeping BTAs in this.

Its 3L x 2W x 2H

In the center you won’t have any issues but you may notices a spotlight effect on the edges

How many bulb fixture are you looking for, also, what’s your budget?

A 2' will cover a 3' tank fine. I might see if I could find a 6 bulb fixture, rather than a 4 bulb one.

It will be a little shadowed on the ends. .
Depending on how they are hung above though . You might get enough spread for lower light requirement corals 6” from the ends .

90 gal would be a deeper tank .
I don’t know if they will be enough light .

4 bulbs minimum, dont want to spend more than 200 on a fixture.
