Would this work well for a 55 galloon tank? How long is the "cord".

This would most certainly work for a larger 55 gallon tank. The hose is about four feet in length and the vacuum nozzle is about 18 inches. I like the fact that it has an angle tip and a gravel guard built into the top of the siphon to prevent clogs. If you need it longer, you could get an even longer hose from your local hardware store. They sell that hose by the foot and its fairly cheap. Cheers!

Hi I bought these to use in 55 gallon so that I had plenty of length so it would not fall down inside. they work fine

Search for FLT5464 on Amazon and you will find the 4 foot ones. Order them well in advance of needing them, as they can take awhile to ship. I caution you to buy the proprietary brand. I tried to buy T5s at Home Depot and found that Hydrofarm uses a unique length. I was replacing the 2-foot ones and notes that they are about an inch off from standard. So if you try to go off-brand, make sure you write down the exact inches and take a good look at the ends to make sure you're getting the right ones.

I connected to a 60 gal propane tank. Check the connector before u buy !! They sold me 2 60 gal tanks with the wrong connectors & i had to buy separately! They do, however work fine.

Yes, it works fine. It comes with a (10ft?) hose and regulator that'll work with a grill sized tank.

That's exactly what I did. I use this exact one, I bought it here on Amazon, on half of a 55 gallon tank, you just need to bend the ends of the frame up on one of the short ends so it fits on the middle support on the tank, not hard to do, you just need a little elbow grease and a good strong pair of pliers. I have turtles and rest the the warming lamp on this, and the other half I have a UV bulb in a regular tank light holder that fits this tank. Hope this helps, good luck.

Yes I think it will work fine. It is used for my grill 24' hose away from tank.

I bought the 24" for my 30 gal tank. It said 24"-36" I believe. The light was 24" and the legs extended out the sides so it would fit up to 36". Great light but if you have a 77" tank I doubt that 48" will work for you.

We have an adaptor for a big tank for ours...but never had any problems. All I could imagine is that the tank is not screwed in correctly....sorry prob not very helpful

I have both 20 gallon Brutes and 32 gallon Brutes and this works on both, so I would imagine it would work on a 55 gallon as well.

I am using this in a 55g tank, so yes, bigger is better in this case. First one I got was defective after 6 weeks, so crossing my fingers the replacement will be trouble free

I don't see why not, I used mine on a 6 hp 60 gallon tank...mine is 220...I plugged the extra ports...used tape not paste.

This will be too strong because of the wattage, if you can find a 75w then go for it. I use mine on a 55 gallon tank but I wouldn't d use it on a tank that small.

I can make an educated guess. my tank is 20". But the extra length is 4", but not much more. So measure carefully.

It should fit, you have an inch or so that can be adjusted for width. Unless it's an odd shape all accessories should fit standard 10,20,30,55 gal. tanks

I have 2 koralia 1650 in a 125 (72 inch length) and they are too much for the tank as a placed a partial obstruction in front to tame them down. I also have 2 850 which do not seem enough. For a 55 gallon I would stick with the 850 to 1000 range. I do like their magnetic base and wide column of water generated. I have mostly crushed coral salt tank with some aragonite sand. The sand is a problem with too much turbulence. Just one of the 1650 will transverse the whole 72 inch tank

This item is 20" so it would hang order the edge. I have a 40 gal. long and it works great. Just make sure you have a metal top because it does get hot.
