I have a tank that is 29 inches deep, will this be suitable? Also, does it come with LED lights or is this just the console?

the fixture includes the lights. It is the only fixture i have on my 300 gallon 29 inch deep tank. It lights the center up very well and the mushroom corals grow great. I kind of light the way the center is bright and the light dims as it reaches the ends of the tank. Two more of these fixtures would be required to light up the whole tank, as the tank is 8 feet long. The light easily reaches the bottom though.

I would think its a stretch ---- the light if attached to the end of the tank, its edge would barely reach the the middle. If attached in the middle, you would have dark areas at each end. Perhaps two units would suffice.

Yes. I have mine about 2 inches above the tank, with a 24 inch high tank. I get about 35 PAR light intensity. With it on a 18 inch high tank you should get about 50-60 PAR, which is medium to high light, if not high light. If you have aquatic plants in the aquarium you will need to use pressurized CO2 or you will most likely have problems with algae.

I have 80 gallon tank.18' wide 47"long, 16'' deep.I only use one light.It hangs in the center of the tank.Everything Is growing well in the center.growing Duncans,mushrooms,rose tip seaamies,leathers,open brain,and others.Using this for over a year.Light is powerfull can burn corals. make slow ajustments. Is nice cause it is programable.It is adjustable on hight and had a ring attached. I made my own light hanger,from the side wall,instead of the ceiling.Hope this helps.

you have to measure the top of your tank - it sits on the edge from side to side. The 24" will have fewer lights than a longer one. I have three 48" lights on my 90 gal tank that is 48" wide, 18" from front to back and 36" deep.

My tank is only 14 inch deep. The light easily lights the bottom of my tank. On the bright settings it would probably do the job if you do not have dark gravel.

I have the same size tank, and do not have dark ends. The light distribution is not even, of course, so you will have to plan where to place corals accordingly.

I think you by mistake write 20 gallon instead of 29 gallon. I also have a 29 gallon aquarium and the hood fits perfectly on it if you check the aquarium closely then you will find that there is a little hinge on the aquarium and the hood sits on it. the exact size of the hood is (29.2 inches and 11.6 inches) I know that it is little confusing even when I want to buy it I was also confuse however i ordered it and I am happy now. led light is pretty cool with three option white, blue and none. light is really bright and i will not recommend it to see directly towards.I hope this helps you

McKAy105, Did you buy this? I am shopping for LED lighting for my 30" deep 150g tank, and would love feedback or other recommendations! Thanks!

It works wonderfully on my 29 mixed reef with SPS in the top half however the ~2" at the sides of the tank are a little under-lit. It is definitely bright enough for the depth of a 75 gallon but I would recommend using 2 lights to fully light the length of the tank.

The tank is made to grow coral . With that being said if you just add the white led I still don't think there will be enough light . It comes with dual bulbs so you can take out one and it shouldn't get too hot . Plus the tank comes with light fan to cool it down .i'm growing coral with mine and I don't have heat problems . The problem that you will have is with all the lights you will grow alge . Good for reef bad for fresh water .

Yes. I use this for a 46 gallon freshwater tank. The LED's emit less heat than a florescent, so there is low, almost no algee growth. It is not good if you want to keep live plants in the tank for the same reason algee does not grow. This single bright gives plenty of natural light, although I would like a little more night (blue) light. I added two small blue LED/bubble walls in back and it looks great at night!

I'm gonna have to say no, I put this exact light on 1/2 of a 29g and it wasn't very bright at all. The only chance you have at coral with this would be some soft corals but I wouldn't bet on it. Also keep in mind this fixture is made for rimless tanks only. I had to cut the trim around the top of my tank to get this light to fit.

It can fit up to a 30" top, but the strip itself is 11" long. It covered about half the length of my 30 gallon. I ended up replacing it with another light strip, so be sure to measure your tank before ordering.

I have 1 unit on my tank which is 3' wide x 2' deep x 2' high. one light is fine; the edges fall of a just a bit but for a 6' tank should be good with 2 lights. I have it set to only to 65% at the highest as the light is brighter than my old T5's.

2 light fixtures are necessary for full coverage on a 48" tank. i've owned these for almost a year with no problems and all corals are thriving!

The 12" should fit. For example, my tank is 30" and the 30" light fits perfectly. But, if your tank is deeper then about 24" I would say you would need a more powerful light.
