you need a t5 fixture itself. They do make 2 ft ones that should fit your area though. if you check ebay you can find some cheap t5's system that will work.

changed my mind i can't fit the light its way to big also i notice when there is three 2700k and one 6700k the temp rises 4-6 degree's making it 87 which is to hot i think but when i run 4 2700k its hovers around 80 81 degree's. all bulbs are 24w

imo 87 isnt that bad but if you feel more comfortable with it in the lower 80's it's fine. the hps might put out alot of heat too. the flouro tubes are nice because alot of them put off very little heat even compared to cfls. in small spaces where every bit counts since they run rather cool to the touch the plant can get closer to them when they are bigger.

i added a fan blowing over the bulbs helps a lot i'm down to 80 degree's now i used a 120mm pc fan i had lying around. 1st pic is the fan hanging so i can move it when i move the lights, second pic you can barely see the fan behind the lights

i added one more cfl for side lighting and i'm thinking of adding a blue floro tube i found in my aquarium stuff here's some pics
IMG_0048.jpgIMG_0047.jpgthis is the floro tube i foundIMG_0049.jpgIMG_0050.jpg
i also added a soda bottle co2 generator to try it out its just sugar yeast and water with a tiny hole so co2 is released slowly
