    They're out there. I remember well, finding a couple. They may not be exactly 30". What wattage on the MH?

    All I could find was MH with LED's, no T5's. The one 30" MH unit with T5's was 250 watts. That would cook my 29 gall tank.

    just raise the unit higher and add fans. if you want to cut back on par use a 20k bulb.
