Is there anyway to hook up several lights together so you want have as much tubing? Or does each light require its own tubing and air pump?

I used an air hose spliter at the end of this light and cut the tubing to the air adaptor only to accomadate the lights. That gave me just one air hose to the air pump .

the lights can't be chained togeather. When I had my lights in the water on the bottom of the aquarium, I didn't like the look. You could see each LED lite. I have them ontop of the tank shining down into the water. Much nicer, I think

I've used mine for a couple of years, and can't think of an easy way to daisy chain them together. You would need to buy "tees" and start the tubing at the pump, extend the tubing to the ViaAqua. Cut the tubing, place the tee so that the rightmost leg is connected to the tubing coming from the pump, the bottom leg to the VIaAqua, and the left one to more tubing going to the next tee. Repeat and finally terminate at the last ViaAqua. If you draw it out, I think you'll see it's not difficult. Take the diagram to your local fish store, and they should be able to provide the parts.

you cant use multiples off a single air line, however, you can get something like http://www.amazon.com/Plastic-5-Way-Control-Aquarium-Accessories/dp/B0002564PI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365255855&sr=8-1&keywords=multi+valve+for+aquarium to split a single air pump into many tubing lines. But yes, each light does require its own tubing, but not its own pump if your willing to do a little setup.

I agree with Kristina using a Lok-Tite® Air Regulator Gang Valves for Aquariums would be the easiest fix but you would have multiple hoses / only one pump. I suppose you could in a sense chain them together by using a Aquarium Airline Air Tube Tubing Connectors Filters / T-connectors allow you to combine two inputs to create one output. They are excellent for use with dual outlet pumps. I would also recommend looking into a larger set of lights...I am using just one set but it is larger and fits across the back of my tank...no need for another set. Best of Luck!

Nope. You have to buy them separately. Just a suggestion, tho. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SPX65 DAYLIGHT Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 865 Light Bulbs 48"

Each light has a small power supply that attaches to it's wire leads. The power supply converts the 120 volt AC power you supply to it, to a low voltage DC supply for the fixture. I am told by the company that you can not supply more than one fixture with each power supply. You will need to connect your 120 volt power to all of the low voltage power supplies in parallel, not series.

You can, but its not gonna cool the 3rd bulb much as the heat is gathering up higher as air goes through tube.I would at least run a 700cfm to that setup, and that might not be enough. I havent even run more than 2 lights at once on a 700, and the exhaust air was over 95*

I'm not sure? To insure you have a spare light or two simply buy a kit with more lights that you think you will need. These lights are very bright so I would suggest you temporarily attach until you get the lighting effect you want; then clean the attachment area with rubbing alcohol for the permanent attachment. Good luck... j.d.

Yea, just use a single throw 10 amp DC switch (there some that Amazon sells) which will allow you the ability to add more lights if needed.

Good question, and one that I had as well. There are six lights total that can be daisy chained so you can use any amount needed, and, yes, it comes with it's own power supply and photovoltic cell. These Lights are bright and perfect for what I needed.

There are 6 ports in the main control box. There are 6 cords each with a light bar on it. So I don't believe there is any way to get more lights. Maybe if you could find a cord with multiple light bars or perhaps an adapter that fits into the control box and has multiple plug ins. However, I think you will have trouble finding this

Yes, lights are powered by external power source. Air requires a separate pump.

Sure, easy to do. What I did was to run the power cable to each light, just be sure tohook them up in parallel and not series.

I suppose yoou could use other lights - However, yo need to be real careful about the amps being pulled as this is not a commercial systme and you burn fuses up real quick.

Each light comes with a short cord to link with another light. I am only using one. I would imagine this light would work but just keep in mind that the cord is not that long.

The standard Natural Light tubular skylight kit comes with 4 feet of tubing. Additional tubing and elbows are available separately.

Yes, it is that long but you can cut it down if you wish. They do not offer additional light fixtures separately so the only way to add lights is to order 2 or more kits. just watch total wattage when adding additional lights. I have mine on a 600 watt dimmer switch which would allow me to have up to 10 - 50 Watt bulbs.

No you need to buy the lights seprately. I do like the fixture a lot. I am also running a smaller heat lamp dome as well for extra heat.

If you can run the connecting wires between the lights you won't need additional power supplies. If you can't us the connecting wires, you will need additional power supplies and switches. Hope this helps.

The lights do come with the wire and yes you can connect 4 together if you know how. I connected two together to my battery
