I have a 36 gal bow front tank, I originally was going to put a 30" set of T5 lights on there the new Nova Sundials. Well while I was getting the tank set up I thought it would be cool to see what these lights would look like on my BioCube. Needless to say they are not comming off, I love them.
So now my quandry, I want T5's on the bow front but I want more light. What is everyones opinion on running a 36" set on top of a 30" long tank? I am talking about how it looks. There would be 3" of the fixture overhanging either side of the tank. I cant get a 30" set of t-5's with 6 bulbs they dont sell them. So I was thinking the 36" Nova Pros 6 bulbs 239 watts but looks wise I dont want it to be an eye sore. Any input is appreciated.. Thanks.

I have the pro 6 lamp on my 30" wide 37 gallon(22" deep). It does'nt look all that bad. The legs are adjustable so it sits steady. The light it gives off is amazing.
