If you're thinking T5's check out the Nova's. They're pretty reasonable, I got a couple for my 36" tank for under $50 shipped with bulbs.

9 watt T5 is 18"s
Did you even look at the lights before posting that they were too wide for what you needed?

2 Nova t5's with bulbs (one actinic and one 10k) will be $32 Shipping... roughly $10 So for $42 you can have some good lights... You won't touch a halide setup for anywhere near $42
Do a google search for 't5 nova' first link.... it's that easy.
