I have a 150 Tall (48x24x31"). Would the 36" fixture work for a planted freswater tank or would I need the 48"? Thanks!

The 36 would probably leave areas at the edges of the tank with decreased light. I would say the 48 would be better light wise. Also the legs of the light fit on the edge of the tank, thus the 36 would not fit where the 48 would fit.

If you are planning a low maintenance tank then the 36" fixture should be sufficient. If you are going high tech then I'd go for the 48" because of the depth of your tank. If you don't know the difference between the two then you need to do a bit of research first.

You would need the 48" to properly span the tank. The 36" would not cover the whole length and would have to sit on top of the glass.

It should work. I have a 48-inch and a 24-inch light on my 125-gallon reef tank with several types of corals and an anemone.

You have a 46 gallon aquarium, be careful not to buy a lid that says 36 on it, that means it's a 36 gallon and the top wont fit yours.

I am running mine on a 120 Gal. tank which is also fully planted with no problem. 2 350's on a 75 Gal. would be an overkill in my opinion.

I have the 36" myself on a 40 gallon reef. They are aupported by the side of the glass, so idk how they would fit on a corner tank. I would suggest something that would hang and possible more than one for a tank your size. A 36" would probably not be enough for 96 gallons. It works great in my 40, so if say you would need 2 if you went this way.

You would want the 24"-36"for maximum light coverage of the entire length of the tank.

I looked over the feature of Aqueon Modulare LED 48 inch fixture vs. Aqueon LED Aquarium Light Fixture, 48-Inch (I owned). The features are identicalThe manufacture might changed the name to Aqueon Modulare LED 48 inch fixture. I hope this help.

As others have said, the 150w will work fine as it has more than enough power to heat 36 gallons of water easily. At 13 inches can be placed vertically or horizontally in the 36 gallon tank.

I have a 37 gallons planted tank and it's working for me. I'm using all 3 light modules though. So you may want to consider doing the same thing.

Yes, my acrylic 120G that I currently have this fixture on is 24" tall and it does a decent job lighting. However I cannot comment how well your foreground plants would do, since all my plants are potted and I have shorter plants setting on rocks to add height.

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

I run 2 48" end to end on my 300 gallon fresh water tank---lighting is great!

I have the 24" and it fits perfectly over my rimless 24" wide aquarium. The fixture is 24" wide.

2 light fixtures are necessary for full coverage on a 48" tank. i've owned these for almost a year with no problems and all corals are thriving!

A 75 Gallon is usually 36" in width or length, so I would recommend the 36" to 48". That way, when you have the LED lights on, it will be a bit brighter in the right and left side of the tank, as well. My suggestion, though, is if you want it pretty bright, then I'd go with the Double Bright LED lights.

the light tube is 48 and the overall light unit is a little bigger so it drapes over the tank. 2 24 probably would not work has well. I have been very happy with the unit.

Yea for sure I'm using one light fixture on my 90 gallon tall tank which has a similar footprint with a 40 gallon breeder. 36 inch long 18 inch wide and 32 inches tall. The light is plenty strong make sure you hang it a east 12 inches from top of the water to get good light dispersal for a three foot tank. Also takes some careful aqua scaping so you don't get any shadows on the side. Mine looks like a volcano very high in the middle and slopes down on both sides so as not creating casting almost any shadows. I run it at almost 80-90 percent and eveif I ran two I would probably not have aqua scales this way but I like the look and my coral in the bottom sandbed are getting enough light. I get ton of coralline algae on the sides of the tank so I am pretty confident the light is spreading enough. I don't have a gazillion corals so I did not see the need for more than one light and having one now I can definitely see that I can surely add more in the future without any problems. I am even having luck with sps corals so this is the real deal! You will definitely not be able to run them up that high intensity since the breeder is so much more of a shallow tank but that's good because you will be saving on electricity, also another reason I ran one light... Make sure you a climate your corals from very little light these lights are super powerful!
