Can I put this light on a 90?

Can I put a 3 feet nova extreme t5 light on a 90 gallon? I don't know how long 90s are but I am assuming 4 feet? The light fixture is 3 feet long.

90s are 48"...so yes 4 feet.

So do you think a 3 foot fixture would be alright on this with 6 inches on each side? Don't really have the money for a new light fixture right now.

You could always put a piece of acrylic or glass or somethin over the tank and just put the light on top of that. Or even make some sort of legs for it.

Eggcrate might work too.

Ya, looking at it, its got light about a foot on each side on the ground where the tanks edges stop so it would work. Thanks!

Yeah, you can, edges will be dark and putting it on there will take a little improvising, but yeah just fine
