DIY a Nano Lightset for a 6G tank - T4 tubes

[Guppies Onli]

The tank is a normal 5 Plan L-size tank measuring 40cm x 25cm x 28cm (H). So the lenght of the tank is approx. 15.7" and it's rather difficult to get T5 light for such small tank size especially the blue tube and also difficulty in getting tube replacement.

So I decided to DIY a light set for this 6G tank (about 6.34 US Gallon) using T4 light tube.

Length of T4 tube is : 343mm
Power of each tube is : 8W
Total : 3 X 8W (24W). - 2 White and 1 Blue tube.
