Are there any 18" four bulb T5 fixtures?

I want it for a 10 nano tank.

I have a T5 fixture on it now, but I want more light.

You subscribed to it by posting.

Current Nova Extreme 18" 2x20W fixture is the only unit that comes in at that length, maybe 2 of them?

mdt178 - That is what I am using now. Maybe I should just get an additional one.
