Can i use this on a tank that does not have a glass cover?

Yes you can. We bought this item for our 55 gallon tank without a glass top and the water mist has no effect on the LED lights. We love it Jamie

I am using a 1250 pump plus a x3 canister without top... So far so good. The interchangeable lights are great. Haven't run into s problem yet.

I used it on my tank before I got my glass cover the light strip got wet and it didn't phase it

I would say yes if your tank is not longer than the length of the light. The light has "feet" that can slide in and out to adjust for your tanks width and hold the light above the tanks top. I am very happy with my light.

No. Evaporation will collect on the lights. There's no protection on the lights to keep water off the electronics

Yes. The light strips are in protective tubes, so water can't get to them. I have 4 of these fixtures, all on open top tanks. :)

I have one on my tank, but it is resting on the glass cover. The mounting brackets will extend to that length, but I absolutely would not trust them indefinitely.

not sure, on "regular" aquariums (for snakes) the bottom is recessed so the heat pad lies on the glass and the frame of the cage touches whatever the cage is sitting on (ie the wood you are talking about). You might want to use something to elevate the hot pad away from the wood.. just to be safe.

Yes, it's just a foam backing and can be slide free very easy. I don't see why not w the plants, given the right lighting, the tank holds humidity well.

I didn't use it for an aquarium. Put it in canning jars and put candles on top of it.

No not necessary - it has an internal tank. I did not have any trouble with the item but it is small and may not work for a large area.

It will depend more on your lid I believe. This unit has legs that are set on the edge of the tank. If your glass top is fully recessed into the top, so that it is flush with the top of the tank, it should be fine. If there is anything that will get in the way of the legs of this unit, it may not work.

I don't see why not. It suction cups to the side of the tank just keep it lower so your lizard can crawl onto it. It does have the top section as a "diving platform" so you might want to stack some rocks up higher so he can crawl down from it without diving off. Hope that helps.

Yes but it's not a snug fit and the glass tops can fall into the tank if your not careful

Yes, I believe so - as long as you have a proper set up - a glass tank might be better

I have a glass top so that set up works and the light lays on top. The metal legs extend several inches though, so this would safely lay accross a 48 inch tank (maybe/probably even larger) without a glass top without risk of falling in as a result of being too narrow. I do not know if it would fit snug or not.

You could if, first you had a glass top it could sit on or second you hung it above the tank. Otherwise the strip light is too short.

This won't melt your plastic tank and probably won't heat up the water. If you but a better heater, you should also change your tank because it could melt. Since you just want a small tank, you should just buy a big glass vase to save money

Yes.The tanks must be made by different manufacturers. The manufacturers make the glass hood insets so that you have to use manufacturer specific glass hoods on your tank. Aqueon hoods only fit Aqueon tanks. Marineland hoods only fit Marineland tanks etc. All Glass is now Aqueon.

It would cover the 20 gallon tank I have, but tanks have different dimensions. My tank is 20 1/2" x 10 1/4" which would be more than covered by the screen. You need to measure your tank top and compare to the dimensions of the screen.

I'm not aware of a lid that's sold for this tank. I use a sheet of plywood if I need to cover the tank.

Yes. It worked fine in mine which was not glass. The bottom tip, which is the part that gets hot doesn't touch the tank directly. It sits in holders which creates a small space between the tank and the thermometer. When it gets hot, the heat distributes in the water, so there's never a problem. The instructions do advise that you keep it in water though, so when doing a major tank cleaning, you may need to either unplug it or place it in a small jar or medium cup of water.
