GOING CRAZY trying to find a light >11 w for my cube tank. Help!

[kindafishy]

My aquarium, 40 cm (=16 inch) cube (64 liters / 17 g), comes with an 11W light fixture . This is what I have :

Eheim MP Scubacube 40 - 1x11watt Capacity 65 Liters Color Wenge Full Support

11watts per 17 gallons is not enough light for plant growth in my book, but I am having NO LUCK finding a fixture with greater wattage for any tank under 60 cm!!!!

Everything in the 40cm range is for nano tanks. Nano this, nano that and it's all frigging 9 or 11 Watts for that size!!!

ANYONE HAVE ANY BRIGHT IDEAS?? (pun intended...)

This is a pretty accurate representation of me, surfing the internet trying to find what I want :

A lot of the t5ho lights have adjustable mounting brackets, they would attach to the sides instead of the single back, but those can get pretty high watts...

How wide is the tank, inches?

 

[Ozydego]

The 36 inch may be adjustable out to 40 inches

Archaea 36W power compact light fixture (clamp on type) [AIC-0081] - $89.99 : Aqua Forest Aquarium, ADA USA, Aqua Design Amano

Yes, something like that!! It is a tiny bit wider (18.5" vs my tank width of 15.75") but it is pretty darn close, and the best I've seen so far. Pretty much the right wattage too. Thanks so much!
