I'm using 3 feet Arcadia Overtank Luminaire with 4 tubes. Likes the feature that it can be tilted upwards for cleaning.

Not sure whether they have size for 2.5 feet.

The holder is adjustable but the main fixture will stick out of your tank, it's about 100 cm.

You can get it from petmart for about $455 without tubes. They don't have stock in the shop so better call them first to order.

There are 2 set of switches to control the 4 tubes, but you can only use 1 timer for control since there is only 1 power cord.

Also, from my experience and opinion don't get the arcadia actinic blue light, not aesthetic.

T5 is bright :D
