Wondering What T5 fixture everyone would use on 35.4" x 8.3" x 9.4" foot print?

Yes i could use leds, but on an office tank I would like very little shimmer. And rather not have to play with my par meter. Half blue plus bulbs, half coral plus.
Using t5’s would keep this very simple. Thinking total equipment will be an mp10, ato, heater. And maybe eventually kalk for alk/ca when water changes stopped being enough.

The light fixture suspended inside a door.
 
Two Sunblaster NanoTechs, bolted together on some aluminum stock.

 
If you wanted to use a canopy of some sort to hide the lighting a little I’d use one of these. I have one similar laying around that would need new bulbs but if you want to use one it yours if you pay shipping.

Side note as i was responding, i stepped outside to throw out garbage. And as i am nearing the can, raccoon pops out and stands on it air boxing me from a foot away. Evil little bears with hands lol.

Was there a walking tree with him saying I am Groot over and over? Hahaha
I edited the post, I found it and it’s only 2ft long. Hoping I’d edit before it was read. Still welcome to it if you want...
 
Anyone have experience with coralife bulbs?

was at petco for crickets, and picked up 2 of these from their sale bin for $5 each.
