Default 24" fixture over a 30 gallon tank???

i have a 24" 4 bulb t5 ho fixture and i was wondering if it would work over a 30" tank? i know that there would be 3" on each side exposed without a light but would that even matter?
thank you!

why not?......just be mindful of your coral placement......softies down low on the side and more light thirsty stuff in the middle
