Would the double brite cause to much alge? I really want my tank to be very brite and beautiful.

I am not sure there is a single answer to this, I have them on three tanks, and on two of them the algae growth isn't any worse than with any other light. On the third tank I need to clean the algae about once a month. The lights are great though, I love the way they bring out the colors in my African Cichlids. I guess I'd say, you're going to get algae with any light you put on, or just from sunlight if it hits your tank. These lights are no worse than any others.

I haven't had any issue with algae in my 55 gallon and I have two of these on it. I do have a pleco and a couple snails just in case though.

You would have to closely follow the instructions. I just wasn't able to keep up with it. It upset the balance of my tank but did clear it. I have 3 stones I no longer use b/c I am not diligent in the upkeep required to properly use the stone.

I had a 306 on my 40 gallon breeder and it completely cleared up the sand and dirt that would go everywhere when u messed with the tank. There is an adjustable control if you want less watee flow. But I just got a 90 gallon and I have to get a g6. The price of the g6 is not pleasing lol.

You would need a stronger lite for a tank that size of you wish to have corals . Fish only might be ok

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

I prefer distilling one gallon at a time because it allows me to go in and clean the inner tank out with a soft bristle brush to remove any mineral deposits.I find doing so in this manner prevents the mineral deposits from caking up in the tank unnecessarily.

NO...it will get way too hot!! I had this in my 2.6 G Fluval and raised the temp to 86. MAYBE you could try the 5 watt but better to go with a little betta heater made for that size.

Well, if you want a LOT of bubbles it will be perfect.. It has four outlets so you could easily have four aquariums going. I have a 60-gal tank and it is more than enough.. And super quiet.. I would suggest getting it.. You can upgrade your tanks and never need additional equipment.

My tank is 3 gallons. It is strong enough for a larger tank. I keep the air stone around 2/3 of the way down in the tank in order to keep the waste from blowing around. It isn't too big. The fish like to swim nearby it. The Marina is much more quiet than another one that I have.

Point the pump at the glass, not down and that should help. .. I have 2 on my 29 biocube and have no issues.. A 240 is not enough in a 20 gallon if used alone so I would at least pick up another 240 for the opposite side .. Do you have enough rock or is the flow getting obstructed down ? Mine are placed mid level in tank and again are pointed at side glass

Sorry not sure about your question... I love my tank I have two for my Bettas.

It all depends on what you have in your tank and how much flow you would like or need I have two of these on either side of my tank and it's a 26g nano softie/lps reef tank. If you have a fish only or a freshwater tank and just looking to had some circulation in the tank than this should be fine although if this is the only pump your adding I would suggest the next higher model up I believe it's around 420 gph? Hope this answers your question

It would probably be bstter to just swap the position of the white flourescent and the actinic so that the white is tied to the fans and don't run the blue actinic. Also this is very pricey for a goldfish tank a lot of petcos and petsmarts often run specials on tanks for $1 a gallon ... you could get a tank they could grow with and the filters and heater for much cheaper

I only have a 29 gallon and my tank is loving the lights. My personal opinion is that it would be better to run two with a 60 gallon. Current is great though. You will love it!

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.

CO2 in general is a good thing, so that will improve your tank right away. Provided all other general care is given plus good lighting. It has worked well in my tank but this unit does require occasional cleaning.

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!
