48" t5 fixture over 60" long tank?
Will a 48 inch ATI 6 x 54 t5 work over a 100 gallon 60" x 18" x 20" tank? I'm worried about the 6 inched on there side not directly under the fixture. Thoughts, ideas, opinions please. Thanks for the help.

perfectly fine.. space it and leave 6" on both sides you can either leave them open or put lower light corals in that area.
