if i get a 24" light, will i be able to shrink it down to fit a 20" wide tank?

Yes, the brackets will allow for proper mounting but the fixture will still be wider then the tank.

unfortunately no. The light shouldn't sit right on the hood, and the legs pop it out to a full 24"

The fugeray light does best sizing up rather than down,because the feet that are attached are on tracks, they slide out, but not in past the width of the light. plus it already comes in 20"!

It comes with a 24 inch T8 bulb so I would think that what you list above would fit.

U ordered the 24-36" version and the actual light is only 22" long. It has arms that pull out to support it for larger applications. I don't know for sure but It might fit . It might end up resting directly on the top....

I don't think so. The base that the tank sits on has an opening that holds the light stand. Everything is made to fit together.

The light will fit a 10 gallon tank hood I believe. Make sure you get a good bulb to promote plant growth.

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

Yes, my aquarium is also 24 deep, it provides good light all the way to the bottom. I have no problems with my hairgrass or my Glossostigma, which I couldn't get to grow with the t8's.

LED are great specifically for deep tanks like that. Shouldnt be a problem getting to the bottom of a 24" tank although I would have to say this fixture may be a little underpowered if your trying to grow any corals on the sandbed. If that isnt the case you should be golden though. LED light usually doesnt start to diminish at all in PAR until 18" of water depth due to its higher focused nature as compared to T5 or hallide which depends on the quality of reflector used to get the light into the tank. This better focus also is what usually will make people say that LED looks very dim in comparison.. which is merely and optical illusion caused by the lack of light escaping the tank thru reflection and refraction, instead being focused more directly down.. in the direction you want it to go.

I'm not positive it will fit because my hood is 24x12. My aquarium has a narrow inner rim and measures 12x24. The hood fits fine. The night lite is cool but turn out the lites before lifting hood, they're bright! I really like the hood.

For a 24 inch long 20 gallon tank I would recommend the 18 to 24 inch light.

24-36" because you want the LEDs to span the length of the tank. You'll have darker spots on the end with the 18-24" light.

The 24in is what you need for it to fit. Im assuming the cm is the width. ..and if it is just ask yourself does your fixture have room for a wider bulb?

I have a 20g hex tank and this fit perfectly. I can take measurements tonight if that will help.

The unit is exactly 24" in length with extenders on both sides that will extend the total out 26". I have a 48" wide 60 gal tank with a bar at the top in the center so I use 2 of the 24" units. I tried a 48" unit first but the center bar wouldn't allow the unit to sit securely. The units come with a single led bulb, but will house 3. You will want at least 2 bulbs per unit. In spite of the expense, I now have 3 bulbs per unit. Beware of knocking them into the tank! I managed to ruin one of the units by doing so! Best of luck!

I bought two hoods for a standard 55 gallon aquarium. It should also work on a 20/29 high tank as well. At work so don't have specs. Nice hood but bulbs they give you are not as bright as I thought .

20"x10"x12" LxWxH is a 10 gallon leader size I believe, so this light should be pretty good for that depth of aquarium.

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.)
