If you are talking about pll 36 then you will not able to get it anywhere as 36 watt pll itself is around 17 + inch

You can try 18W PLL instead, two of them should fit in.

This is the only option, if you want to use PLLs.
During my last visit of Bhagirat Place, I saw one footer T5s. All of they are china made.
You can also use CFLs. There result is also satisfactory in small aquariums.
