          No.

          I think the only one capable of sustaining plant life would be the reef capable marineland LED.

            I have a 24" coralife pc fixture. Its enough to sustain plants. No bulbs so $20

                usually with the mounts you can adjust it on the side. it won't be a perfect fit but, generally the light puts out enough to covers the whole tank.

                  18-24" marineland is an 18" fixture, but the legs extend to 24"

                    The Marineland does pretty well with most plants. I've had crypts, anubias, java fern, etc do well with that light.

                      I have an 18" to 24" on a 36" 40g breeder and I'm satisfied with the light it produces. I have a glass canopy. I've also used legs from other LED fixtures to compensate for my shortcomings.

                        You could bend the legs straight and they'll fit. Or use paint stirrers across the tank

                          I am also setting up a 20 g long it is so hard to get light for that size it's all 24,36and 48 inches ,I have current USA lumen LEDs and they work great! ,but you need a canopy for those lights and I can't find a good led 24-30 inch with housing with 67k or 8k if anybody got any good led lighting for me to look at I will check them out
