i was planning to get a 20 gallon tall which is 24" long, and i want to get the 96w powerquad light by corallife. Will those 2 inches on each side have a big impact? its 4.8w/g which i figured would be ok, and i would just order the adjustable legs for it.

there will not be a problem just dont put any high light coral on the ends i did the same thing for a few years before i upgraded tanks

i use a 24" light on a 20 long which is 30" in length. no problem at all here. if you put it at least 3-4 inches above the water it shouldnt really matter where you put your coral. to be safe, what ricky said isnt a bad suggestion.
