Will this light be enough for a 90 Gallon Reef Aquarium?

Hi. I am not sure. I think it would depend on the depth of your tank, from,what I have read.My tank is 24 inches tall, and it works well, but I am also using Flourish Excel for my plants, at the recommendation of my local pet store .I like the the light, it switches from led white to blue automatically, and is easily overridden as other people have noted.So, I can't tell you if it is ok for your tank, it would depend on your plants, but mostly the depth of your tank, due to physics that I can barely recall. There are are online sites you can access for help with the math.I think it mostly depends on the depth of your tank.I do like this light, but, can't give you specific advice. Have fun!!!!

This is way too small this is only for a 36 gallon tank. It may be too small for a 90 gallon reef.

I would like to say yes but i can't be sure. I bought the 18" model for a 10gal frag tank and it seems like plenty of light,i just don't know if it would reach the bottom of a 90gal.I'm sorry i can't be of more help.

Depends on tank size, mine is over a 20 gallon tall, and is successfully lighting duncans, hammer, and various favia and favites. Also look at the reef breeders nano par 38 lamps, they're not too much more $.

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!

If you want the light to work, yes. Filtration would also be a good option in a tank this small, if its possible.

For small corals yes it will... But I would get brighter so u wouldn't have to uograde in the future

I have a 60 inch 110 gallona q and have one on mine. It gives off bright light....my tank does not have live plants... So may want to be sure this is the right light for live plants.

If it is a 40 breeder you would use the 36" fixture. But in either case, yes. These lights are fine for a coral tank with the 3 color lights and wattage you would be generally fine.

I'm gonna have to say no, I put this exact light on 1/2 of a 29g and it wasn't very bright at all. The only chance you have at coral with this would be some soft corals but I wouldn't bet on it. Also keep in mind this fixture is made for rimless tanks only. I had to cut the trim around the top of my tank to get this light to fit.

Yes, this light will work great for fresh water, and will also work for saltwater provided you are NOT growing a coral tank. If you have a "Fish Only" saltwater tank like I do, this light is great. I have this on a 30 gallon saltwater tank with no reef.

Unlikely, unless you plan on keeping plants that thrive in low light. This light is primarily for fish only tanks, and you'll need two side by side to obtain sufficient light.

I have a 55g aquarium and I bought two. I would recommend that you buy three for a 150g tank. There is definitely enough power to the lights as well. I have mine set at 30% whites and 45% blues.

I would say yes... I have it on my 75 gallon tank and it is brite in every corner. love the light :)

I have a 150 gallon tank and i have one of these lights that works fine. I will order another one to complete my lighting.

Wouldn't recommend it if you wanna keep more than fish. For the price okay light but i use mine on my refugium. Leds no strong enough to get good coral growth.

I think it would be a little large. If you can find one that is smaller, it would probably work nicely. I have it over a saltwater tank and it collects lot of salt because it is so close to the water. Just keep in mind that the plastic tabs that hold the light into place are easy to break. The front tab broke on mine when I first snapped it into place.

I will not recommended to buy this light It will work for fish only. The light will b enough for 48" only. up to 60 gallons

Depends on the size of the tank, and how it's positioned. I'd say it would be a poor aquarium light though. It's more cosmetic lighting than anything.
