Does this safely fit on a standard black framed glass tank? Do the two legs set in the frame lip or do you need a glass top?

The two legs on each end adjust to be able to sit over the edge of each side. I have had mine for about a year now and have had no issues. great product.

This light will work with or without a glass top. The legs on the end are adjustable, and you can pull them apart until the fit over the black lip of the tank.

They do fit safely on black framed tanks, but the lights only last a year and then they burn out

I have a glass top so that set up works and the light lays on top. The metal legs extend several inches though, so this would safely lay accross a 48 inch tank (maybe/probably even larger) without a glass top without risk of falling in as a result of being too narrow. I do not know if it would fit snug or not.

No glass top required can even work on a rimless tank, the legs fit nicely over the edge but are reversible to set it even lower in the tank if desired, best light for the price out there.

The brackets slide in and out of fixture so it will sit right on the black frame. You don't really need a glass top. I have 48 inch tank so it fits perfectly.

they have these expandable pieces you see in the pictures on each side to fit nicely on the edge of your tank.

I have the same fixture over my 55, and it has a decent space between the light and the top of the tank to allow for heat exchange. It'll be fine with a glass top.

It's very thin won't fit over my aquarium edge. I just lay it on top of the glass top

Most have little pegs on the corners that you can remove to make it the right size for your aquarium. I have never had one that did not fit. I have 3-55 gal and one 40 gal aquariums

The glass is not tempered, so just buy it and take it to your local glass shop and have them cut it to fit your 5 gallon tank.

Drop a tape on the cover 20 1/2 " , the cover fits in side of the tank molded edge, the top has no edge. hope this help you.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry. We have checked and it looks like the glass just lays on top of the legs. They do not attach. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

The clamp does not fit over the plastic lip on tanks :(. However it is quite easy using a razor to remove a small section of the lip. Removing this does not effect the rigidity of the tank. So with slight modification of the tank it will fit.

the tank and stand are attached, so if your trying to remove the plastic tank and replace it with glass....I would advise against it :)

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.

The Top is designed to fit into the top frame of a 30 gallon ex tank, (and other like sized top framed tanks). I think the frameless acrylic tanks would need a different top cover.

I have it on my 90 and it fits fine... Depending on the dimensions of your tank it might just fit right on top but if not then rig a hanging kit and hang it

I bought this glass top for a 150 gallon tank (72" wide) with a middle brace. The middle brace takes up an inch. If this top were used on a tank without a middle brace, I believe you would end up with a gap of around 1 inch. This is probably not what you want.

you will need a top of some sort (glass). The Finnex fixtures come with legs that attach to the corners of the tank.

Sorry, old friend...the legs really only move back and forth a bit, giving you some wiggle room depending on whether your tank is rimless or with rim.

If you look at the picture, two of the 4 sides have an opening near the top. The glass part of the tank does not go all the way up.

Ultimately, it depend on dimensions of the tank. In a standard, rimmed 20L tank, it rests on the plastic interior lip of the rim--it doesn't rest on the rim itself. On other words, it is slightly smaller than the tank interior dimensions. If you have a standard size rimless tank it will probably fall through unless you have added lid supports (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Como-Aquarium-Glass-Support-Holder/dp/B00BG9JUKU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397729244&sr=8-1&keywords=aquarium+lid+support) In any case, I'd recommend measuring your tank's interior dimensions as a first step.
