AI Blade 21 inch length with tank rest?

[TeeJay87]

Could someone please measure the max length of a 21 inch blade with the tank rests fully extended? Please measure from the inside lip of one tank rest to the inside lip of the other.

I have an aqueon 20 long that is a bit over 30 inches and the 21 inch blade + 4.5 inch extension for each tank rest should make it a very close call whether it fits.

PS - AI Blades are 15% and I think they were excluded from discounts last Black Friday, so this may be the first time they have been this discounted.

sorry i forgot to post this.
With the tank mounts extended all the way to the locking tabs you are at 29". there is still about 3" past that on the light. So if you wanted to you could undo the clips on each side and extend each one another 1/2" and it should work. I cant see them falling off as it took a decent amount of force to pull them off past the clips
