how adjustable are the mounting feet? I currently have a 24" tank but I want to buy the 36" light when i upgrade tanks soon. will the 36 fit a 24 tank

It should. I have a smaller version but you can adjust the feet the whole way in. I use it for my refugium on my saltwater tank.

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.

The mounts slide on the light in grooves so it can be made to fit a smaller tank ..you will just have to have a glass lid to set the light on

No it will not. I would get the 36" fixture for a 36" tank. Makes sense doesn't it? You have a little bit of adjustment, but not that much.

honestly the light is great but not for a planted tank. If you decide to go with this, you will probably need 2. one on each side of the middle brace. I dont know what the dimensions are on each side so just measure that out and go with the closest size available to cover each side from left to right. (I think two 36")My recommendations for a planted tank would be to go with the Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 30-InchI have a 37 planted tank and it works great. It is a deep tank and everything both short and tall grows fantastically. Again, with this I would go with two separate lights to cover your tank. honestly the light is great but not for a planted tank.

The light strip comes to within two inches of each end of the light fixture. You'll want the 48", since two 24" would leave a 4" gap unlit in the center, plus wouldn't look as sleek and clean as the single fixture. I have them on both of my 55-gal tanks, and love them. (The center support on my tanks don't interfere with the light, since it sits slightly above the top of the tank.)

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

Yes. I have mine about 2 inches above the tank, with a 24 inch high tank. I get about 35 PAR light intensity. With it on a 18 inch high tank you should get about 50-60 PAR, which is medium to high light, if not high light. If you have aquatic plants in the aquarium you will need to use pressurized CO2 or you will most likely have problems with algae.

no it would not look funny would look fine in fact you want one a little bigger because the actual lights on these end about 3-4" from the ends. I have a 36" on my 30" tank looks great.

I have two of the 24" lights. The ends do slide out but I would go with the 30" to get better light in the tank.

Hi there. My light,- the actual light bar itself, measures 22inches. It also has two metal prong/bars that extend from either side that fit over the top of the aquarium, that measure , in total, 36 inches. The extensions keep the light raised slightly off the top of the aquarium,probably for heat circulation. I didn't like the way the light hit my eyes, so I didn't use them. LEDs are pretty warm, and the top of my acrylic tank is now warped a it . Not a big deal for me. So, I think the 24to36 would be a good size, unless you want the light bar in direct contact with your aquarium top. The light is very bright, does that cool wave thing, and has supported my live plants well. The automatic on, off, of the white and blue lights is a perk I did not think I needed. But, it's great as a convenience, and easy to program. Hope this helps, if a bit wordy

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've never seen any other tank mounts for this. If you are not doing a planted tank I wouldn't use this light. Why don't you look at the cheaper Marineland Single Bright LED or the Marineland ML Double Bright LED. Their mounts might work better for your application.

You will need at least 2 for sure. I have a 30" tank and one just barely does it. If I had room for another one I would put acsecondbon the tank to get better light at the bottom.

I'd get the 36" fixture then buy a bigger tank. ;)But to answer your question, the 10 inch fixture unless you want some overhang.

I use to used 2 of these for low light plants on my standard tetra "55" g tank (its actually more like 48g and mis-sold as 55.. but I digress) the 24"-36", it has 4 rows of lights that only cover about 17.5" in the center of that 24" space, the 36" is just max leg extension. I removed one leg from each light and put the de-legged side on the center brace (I put a 1" bar on top of the brace to keep lights level), pushing the 2 lights together they fit snugly on top. It worked well for low light aquarium plants like anubias , java fern, vals, mosses, and marimo. However if you want medium light plants I'd strongly advise a different brand made for plant growth.. or just get 6500kelvnin cfls bulbs and clamp on lamps (3-4x) if you don't mind the look of them. I've upgraded to a 2 bulb 6500k t5 light over my "55"g now.

Most LED bars have adjustable mounts that slide the width of the bar to accommodate different spaced light tabs. I have a 24 inch on mine
