Can I use this on a freshwater tank?

yes, but the protein skimmer is not needed. There is another model that replaces the skimmer with a UV sterilizer.

you can but i would use the model RP90 with built in uv sterilizer for freshwater it will help a Great Deal with parasites such as ICK.

greetings, this lamp for marine aquariums REEF .. not for freshwater aquarium. Check and read carefully before making an unnecessary expense. If you want to buy is your decision: I do not know what the behavior of plants inside the aquarium with the lighting. I recommend and look ORBIT LED lamps .. Greetings. NelsonC

Yes u can! Eco complete is a great substrate forthat. Bring wet pa cc ked it ddoesn't require rinsing and is usually great at not clouding water at all either. I've use for new setups and added to running stocked tanks also.

I used this Finnex for a 20 gallon freshwater fish tank. It was fine at first, but mine did not last very long though. There are Tetra filters at places like Walmart, too, that may be a better choice.

No, as long as you don't put a betta in that tank. Bettas require still water or extremely light current and this one is way too powerful.

Nope. After having it forma months i came to the conclusion. This one is for freshwater aquariums.

I think that you can, but I don't know that I would. I have a 3 gallon tank and it barely keeps the water in the 70s F. I worry that burying it under the gravel would inhibit the heat from spreading throughout the tank. But I think you can try it without any dire consequences. Just keep an eye on the water temperature, and if it is too low for your fish, dig it up and stick it to a tank wall.

You only need to have a protein skimmer when setting up a marine/saltwater aquarium, a freshwater setup doesn't need this equipment. This filter can be used for either fresh or salt water tanks, works equally well on both, I have it on a freshwater aquarium at this time and it is wonderful.

Yes. I use this for a 46 gallon freshwater tank. The LED's emit less heat than a florescent, so there is low, almost no algee growth. It is not good if you want to keep live plants in the tank for the same reason algee does not grow. This single bright gives plenty of natural light, although I would like a little more night (blue) light. I added two small blue LED/bubble walls in back and it looks great at night!

We are using it in a pond. Our pond is approx. 300 gallons and it works well. I do not think it is for fish tanks. It is for outdoor ponds

I would say yes - I had mine in a one gallon plastic tank with no problems. FYI - when you change the water, make sure you unplug the heater, even if it's just going to be out of the water for a little bit. It will overheat pretty quickly and quit working. Voice of experience :-(

It probably could be used for that. I have mine in a 20 gallon freshwater tank. Its very powerful and the waterflow is a little strong. Good filter though would definitely recommend.

I have it in my African Cichlid tank and it works great!! My fish are fresh water fish. I it is good to provide some sort of water movement for your fish.

yes but you will have to go slow. I use it on a 3 gallon now and then and it is slow but does the job.

Yes, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZKZL1O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 works on the aquarium.

Because of the nature of aquariums, I'd hesitate with that. Water tends to slosh around and become unstable during cleanings, etc. That might be a question to direct to the manufacturer.
