Can I use this light for saltwater aquarium coral?

I use this and the magenta light to grow my Mangrove and algae. The corals don't seem to mind either, but there are dedicated Kessil lights that you might want for saltwater that might look and work better.

You can use any light with it. I am using the marineland single bright LED light strip. You can even use the standard kind that usually come with aquarium kits.

I use this for my salt water tank and it gives plenty of bright light. Might need to research more if you are going to do plants but for fish and many types of salt water corals it is great.

I imagine that it could work W/ your Coral & others ..I don't know about a rimless tank..I have A 27 gallons Cardiff Tank in which it can be used a a rimless tank ..but I also purchased a rim & a glass top to protect my lighting..Salt tends to eat & damage...but my suggestion is call Current...Good Luck! I Love My LED Lighting!!!!

I bought this as a light for my 29G sump for my 15G refugium chamber. It's great for my chaeto, wouldn't recommend for coral.

It would be ok for just fish, but if you are doing corals and inverts, you will want a reef specific lighting. If I were you, I would find a forum or group that has experience with reef tanks and ask there. As I understand it, intensity and spectrum are very important.

I'm not sure. It looks like that aquarium comes with a built in LED light under the hood. If you are buying this tank new, you probably don't need another light. If that light is broken, you could buy this light and attach it to the bottom of the top cover. This has two problems, (1) you have to attach it somehow, and (2) the light will be in a high humidity environment right over the water; I'm not sure if it is rated to survive that. My lights sit on top of a clear cover.

The light is awesome for lps and sps corals. It should be good for an anemone too but it depends on what the anemone likes.

No, it is not the same. We have two of these on our planted freshwater tank. We also have two of the Reef Capable LED lights on our saltwater tank. Definitely different, but both work well for us.

Shouldn't be an issue at all. My Oceanic tank is deeper and I found this light to be brighter than the original fluorescent light bar. Plus with this light, you get two settings... Bright white, and a lower setting as well.

I have had saltwater aquariums for over 30 years and am not familiar with freshwater lighting requirements, but I can't imagine why it would not be ideal. My LED TrueLumen fixture has performed great, perfect light color and intensity, they have different light colors to select from and I have had no algae growth or heat. It is so thin, the mounting is fantastic. I would not have anything else now.

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 .

No, I would say it's definitely not bright enough for corals/live inverts or anything that requires high intensity lighting.

It should work as long as it is with the voltage specks under driving them will not hurt them. But I have not done it with these just with diy reef aquarium lights. It work just fine

You would need a stronger lite for a tank that size of you wish to have corals . Fish only might be ok

As long as the light spans the top of the aquarium, there should be no problem. This light is very bright and provides excellent illumination, both for viewers and for the fish and plants. The greatest thing about this is the gradual setting sun and moonlight modes. The only drawback for this unit is that, if your electricity goes off or the lamp is unplugged, you will have to reprogram it the time, sunset, and moon settings.

If you want the light to work, yes. Filtration would also be a good option in a tank this small, if its possible.
