I have a 17" column tank and really want on of these. What is the plausibility of using the 18" on a 17" W x 17" L tank? Will it just look horrible?

My husband is the fish guru, he says that it will overhang 1/2" on each side of the tank and it will not be stable, the ends that extend are what attaches it to the tank.

Hey Patrick, I have 2 of these tank 9 gallon setups. The height is about 15-1/2 - 16" There are little feet on the bottom so the tank won't ruin the counter top. The little lamps are awesome, but not really well made. I wish the lamps were sold separately so I found put one on my little run-of-the-mill 2 gallon backup tank. Also, the company stands behind their product if you have any difficulty. Cheers!

I ordered the size ( I think there were 2 choices) that fit our 20 gallon tank. I do not recall the other size but I believe they were smaller sizes.

It will fit 24" long tank or longer. But light just has 17.75" long, I don't suggest you to use it for your tank. I use it for my 20 gal plant tank so it protect fit. I mean light is bright enough to keep my plant to grow. If you use it for plant tank, the one 24" to 36" will be better to you.

Depends on the size of the tank. Would recommend two fixtures of the 16" model for a 4 footer, and one fixtures of the 24" model for a 3 footer. Hope this helps!

It fits perfectly into the upper ridge of my 10-gallon standard tank, and it definitely doesn't fit our 20 long. 20 long is a fairly standard size, though. I would filter for Marineland, and look for one specifically for a 20 long.

We use ours on 40 gallon breeders. I haven't measured it, but it fits our 36X18 tanks well. A little snug, but I like it that way.

I just took the 20# tank off my BBQ pit and hooked it right up. Don't see why you couldn't use a larger tank cause I think they would be the same pressure.

I purchased it for a friend and I'm not sure the size of your tank. So, I'm sorry I can't answer your question. You should be able to get the dimensions off the manufacturer website.

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 think it would hang off the sides. I used it for a 29 gallon and it fits perfectly.

I purchased this for a freightliner walk through delivery truck. As 18" was exactly what I was looking for its a perfect fit. It is not resizeable . As far as getting a 17" cover I'm afraid I can't even tell you where to start looking. Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful

What are the dimensions as a 15 lb tank would fit but I am unsure about the 20 lb size.

I returned mine for this reason. Th picture did not show how exposed the tank would be. I was not happy with the product.

I have a 75 gallon and run an eheim 2217 which is very large. I know a lot of folks will run two 2217 filters in a 75 or 90 gallon if they are heavily stocked. Eheims have great reputation if you search some of the forums from the hobby specific sites. I decided to not run the pro3 series because the classic 2217 can fit so much more biomedia for big tanks. I left the pro3 for my smaller 45 gallon tank. Check it out yourself and compare the flow rate and capacity before you choose the model.

I am running this for a 15 gallon system and it isn't anywhere near enough. I just ordered a new one myself. You have at least 170 gallons. You can never have too much air, go to the full blown big commercial one and you won't be sorry that you did. You might spend 80 to $100 dollars now, but trust me, if you have that many tanks already, you will ultimately need it anyways.

You're gonna have to get the next size up. This would fit cross wise on your tank at the widest point, but then a vast majority of your tank would be left in darkness.
