I have a rimless fluval edge that measures 16.9" wide. Can this light cover the full length in brightness ?

Yes but i would recommend having 2. If you're trying to grow live plants then 1 absolutely will not cut it

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.

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.

I bought this for a 4 ft. Fluorescent Light for an aquarium, which is why it's waterproof, this one will not work for dimming. They do make a dimming Ballast which will work, but it's dangerous and should be done an electrician.

Yep. The feet fit into slots in the fixture and slide out easily. The light would lie flat on a glass top. It may sit on the edges of the aquarium depending on how it's trimmed.

Light is hung high so I cannot get to it easily to measure. Length will be no problem but may be tight on the width. Should fit but I cannot say for sure. Wish I could help you more.

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.

I have the light that is maybe 18" long mounted at near the middle, back side at waters top (semi-submerged) of a 48" 55 gal tank. They are bright, but after several weeks of usage (24/7) we have not observed any problems with our fish. Note: Our fish do have a number of places they can hide from the lights.

this light is 36 inches long its on my 40 gallon breeder tank. im not sure if it will fit your tank of not.

I think it would be a little large. If you can find one that is smaller, it would probably work nicely. I have it over a saltwater tank and it collects lot of salt because it is so close to the water. Just keep in mind that the plastic tabs that hold the light into place are easy to break. The front tab broke on mine when I first snapped it into place.

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.

The 18" model works perfectly on a Fluval Spec V. You can keep the stock lid, just remove the stock light.

I would get one that covers the top of the aquarium without the extensions although the smaller size would probably work if you need to save the extra cost. You will get better coverage using the large size. This light is very bright. You need to adjust the time it is on to make sure you don't develop a lot of algae growth but it is great at promoting live plant growth. The only thing I don't like about it is the timer resets if you have a power failure. It works very well but having to re-adjust it any time the power goes off or if you unplug it during cleaning is kind of a nuisance.

It should provide adequate coverage. PRoviding you come up with a good mounting solution for the light. You may need to arrange your coral and such in the center of the tank.

This item is just the fluorescent strip light, it is not a "full hood" item. Ideally it need to be placed over the top of a glass canopy that covers the aquarium. It is not designed to sit over open top aquariums. The strip light will actually rest on the top of the trim and extend about 1/4" beyond the edge. If you need a full hood with the light, see item B0002AS5BY

I wouldn't, maybe softs but they won't be strong. Also this is designed for rimless tanks or a very small rim. The light just wont penetrate a tank that tall. There are some adjustable led ppucks from aquamana reef fixtures for the same price as two of these that look promising. Dont have one though

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