Would this be good for a 29 gallon fish tank? I want to add some plants to it without investing in a C02 tank type systemon a budget.

It would probably be ok for a starter CO2. Make sure you place the diffuser low in the tank near the bottom. You will probably need to refresh the yeast mixture weekly. Also, you can make a system MUCH cheaper by using a 2-liter bottle, sugar and yeast that is more suitable for a 29 gallon. It's up to you. Good luck

I had this on a 29g and it worked very well. definitely do the bubble counter though so you don't get crap in the line into your tank

A small 1 liter yeast based system such as this one will not produce enough CO2 to help in a 29 gallon tank. IMO, the best low cost options for that size of tank are the dual 2-liter bottle DIY Yeast CO2 system (design published all over the web) or one of the brands of liquid carbon.

I have one set up going in my 25 gallon and tone honest I am not sure if this is enough for the size of my tank. The mixture does not last 30 days. It dies with in 15day at most. While it is running and producing bubbles every 3 seconds or so.... It gets very slow (like a bubble every 15 seconds or so by the second week). Try it out. It wouldn't hurt but it will not make a big difference in 29 gallon tank in my opinion.

You will not get maximum growth, but it certainly did make a difference on my 29 gallon tank. You can use 2 of them, and alternate starting them and refilling them by 2 weeks. I soon replaced the fermentation tank with a 3 liter bottle, but used the diffuser, which is not a bad design due to it's simplicity. You could also get a powered diffuser to use with the system that certainly would be enough for your 29.

I would say it would do a good job in a 45gal tall tank the light is very intense on my 29gal and i have a well planted aquarium. Medium to low level light. Plants will be sufficent probaly not a high light plant though

I would actually recommend getting a bubble counter on top and then that way you wont put too much carbon dioxide, but no it shouldn't as long as you have more plants with enough lighting you will be fine

I am using the 300 watt in a 120 gallon for aquaculture, it seems to handle very well, even outside. I would probably use 2 or a larger one for 300 gallon?

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!!!!

I don't recommend 30 Gallons tank. I bought this for 10 gallon tank. It was not enough.And I found a problem. Connection is weak.(from light parts to AC adaptor)

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!!

I wouldn't recommend this for that size tank. Unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, the tank would have to be at least 30 gallons to use it correctly

I have mine in a 77 gallon tank and it works fine but, I would guess for a tank that size that you may require something bigger or maybe 2 of them. Also depends on type of fish of course.

I use it for a five gallon tank and it is great. A one gallon tank might be to small. Prior to getting this I had a flat heater that was under my gravel that auto censored to keep a tank at the right temp. The only problem with it was I needed to have more control of the temp in the. You might try finding it, sorry but I don't remember what kind it was, but I know it was for smaller tanks.

I think it would work with plants, but you might need one more light kit. This would give you better light for the whole tank

Casey is correct....this is way to small. It will be okay temporarily, but you will have to get a bigger tank and a better filtration system. It's cheaper/better to just start out with a bigger tank. Even the 15g-20g suggestion will be too small at some point. Here's a link to a really good care sheet: http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/housing.htmAt one point I had 7 turtles and they are great animals, but they do require a lot of work that pet stores don't tell you.

I would rcommend their Ray 2 for a tank that deep if your are going to raise plants. I use one on a 37 gallon high with 24" depth. it is a planted tank, medium light, NO CO2 but do use Exel carbon suppliment. Works well with very little algae. I also use use a FugeRay on a 10 gallon planted that is 12" deep. Don't use chemicals on that one and use an 8 hour daylight length. Two FugeRays would probably work but a single Ray 2 would be my choice. Either way, the lights are reliable and provide me with the best planted tanks I have ever had.

This light should be more than sufficient for your purposes. It is very bright and works quite well for plants. I no longer have an aquarium, but last spring I set it up for our garden starters; the plants under this light did much better than those under an ordinary full-spectrum light. I hope this helps.

My tank is 36 gallons and about that depth. Plants are flourishing but I am also running CO2.

If I rememer correctly the 24" will work but it won't go across the entire tank so you will have some part either not lit or dinner than the rest. I would suggest going bigger especially if you are going to have live plants.

Yes it would. I have mine on a 10 gallon tank and the plants are doing great. I have several different types, vals, sprites, banana plants, java fern and crypts. I used it before this tank on a 6 gallon deep tank and it made the plants go nuts in it. I really like the Finnex lights, we have several, Just got a ray plant one for our 125 gal tank to go with a finnex ray II, and it looks so nice, the plants are taking off and their is so much more room on top now since we got rid of the big ol bulky T5 and T8's. Good luch!
