How far can the legs on these be extended? Would a 24inch lamp be able to fit on a 36inch tank?

Sorry, old friend...the legs really only move back and forth a bit, giving you some wiggle room depending on whether your tank is rimless or with rim.

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.

the legs will extend approximately an inch on each side, so no it will not reach the end of the aquarium.

No it will not. I would get the 36" fixture for a 36" tank. Makes sense doesn't it? You have a little bit of adjustment, but not that much.

I have the 24" light on a 29 gal tank which is also 30" long. It sits on my glass versa top on legs about an inch tall. Provides great light - enough to grow plants and lots if algae. The moonlights are neat ! I think you can use the 24" and save some money unless you need the 30" light to rest on the sides of the tank. The LED lights are the best !

I have a 40 inch LED on it no problem. I am thinking to upgrade to a 50 inch, and the legs might hang over the side but it is pretty sturdy.

The lamps for either is 24" and each will hold 3 lamps . I have the 30 " fixture and wished I had purchased the 24"

The 36 would probably leave areas at the edges of the tank with decreased light. I would say the 48 would be better light wise. Also the legs of the light fit on the edge of the tank, thus the 36 would not fit where the 48 would fit.

This lamp doesn't attach to the tank on its own. You need a stand for it. I used a spare curtain rod bracket and hung mine from the wall just above the tank. the cord is about 4 feet long.

The arm that sticks out is 6 inches long. And my lamp is a medium size one. With not much room left. It would be difficult to fit 2 on one. But my small tank would easily hold 2 of the brackets.

I'm not sure but it may expand to 36". Mine is 24". You might want to ask the seller how this works? I could tell for sure how it might expand to 36"

My tank is actually 36 1/4 x 18 1/4 and it fits tightly. I think with a can-do attitude and a small amount of elbow grease you could possibly fit it on there.

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.

T5 - 4 ft lamp should be compatible across the board. Mine are used as grow light for my wife's African Violets and other plants - they sure like it and more blooms than ever before. She put a couple of Pontsettas on the shelf last week and they are no just blooming more, but growing too.

I'd get the 36" fixture then buy a bigger tank. ;)But to answer your question, the 10 inch fixture unless you want some overhang.

My 24 gal is 36 x 12 and supports my lps and sps coral growth. The light has a setting for maximum coral growth and that is what I keep it on.

If I rememer correctly the 24" will work but it won't go across the entire tank so you will have some part either not lit or dinner than the rest. I would suggest going bigger especially if you are going to have live plants.

I have the 24" and it fits perfectly over my rimless 24" wide aquarium. The fixture is 24" wide.

Sorry but this is about 36" tall and you would need a different top extendion but you can find them online

I have the 36" fixture. The fixture itself is 36" end to end. 38 1/2 with the legs fully extended. The led bulbs for the 36" is 30" long with 20 leds
