what is the difference between this light and an Aqueon Modulare LED 48 inch fixture?

I looked over the feature of Aqueon Modulare LED 48 inch fixture vs. Aqueon LED Aquarium Light Fixture, 48-Inch (I owned). The features are identical The manufacture might changed the name to Aqueon Modulare LED 48 inch fixture. I hope this help.

I'm not sure if there is a difference this sits on the aquarium it looks the same way? But I really like this light! Love the blue light at night the fish seem to like it as well. Like the other answers the price is good and I do not think there is a difference?

this is an led light, it hangs on the edge of each side the tank. best result use glass covers over the tank to get the full light. the light quality is 10x better than florecent.

I think it is the same item, just a different pictures on the item. I paid $80.96 for the light fixture

The one I received is not as bright as a 500 watt halogen fixture, although it is still very bright. The manufacturer claims 4500 lumens.

No they are already installed, the 48" light has 4 which provide enough moonlight for my 36" deep freshwater tank.

It comes with only one led light strip/bulb. The lighting system allows you to add up to three lights total. The great thing about this lighting system is when the LED light goes out you don't have to purchase a whole new lamp you just change the bulbs. Other LED Lighting systems (such as Marineland) don't allow you to change the bulb. One thing to take in to consideration is that the aqueon LED lighting system does not have a protective cover to protect against water splashing on the lights and the light will sit fairly low and close to the top of aquarium water. I love this lighting system lights are very bright especially when you have 3 LED lights installed :) It comes with only one led light strip/bulb.

The aqueon lights have different lengths (led bulb length ) you need to measure the longest length on your aquarium cover and your aquarium must have a safe cover top to rest this light on . We have a 55 gallon corner tank and bought a 24 inch that rest on secure glass top. When they say 24 inch they mean it .there is no better light than this and we have 3 LEDs in unit and one is blue colored , aquarium is gorgeous ! The night time red light is perfect!

Hi,Im not sure about the difference. I took a chance when I ordered. I must say, the are small but give off enough light too and the motion detectors are very sensitive so outstanding for added security.I think you would be happy with these lights.Hope this info helps you out!

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

I agree with the other 2 answers. This fixture also has very little rim space so you don't have allot of wiggle room. LED technology is so nice because you don't have to worry about heat buildup like you do with other light sources.

It came with a aqueon full spectrum long bulb it only takes one 17w t8 24" but I bought a colormax color enhancing bulb for freshwater/ I didn't like the way the included bulb made my aquarium look. hope this helps

I ended up returning this fixture because it was a little bigger and bulkier than what I wanted. Check out lumens.com. They have tons of selections and their customer support is probably the nicest and most helpful of any website I have ever dealt with.

This light does a great job with a standard tank, and with the red LED tubes installed make the fancy guppies I was keeping at the time look great. However it is not suited to a planted tank. Even with addition LED tubes (white and red) I saw little, if any growth. If you would like an LED fixture more suited to a planted take -- I'd suggest a Finnex Planted+ (found here on Amazon). The same sized Finnex Planted+ (20") is equal to the total price of the Aqueon LED and the two tubes you would need to have any hope of keep plants healthy and happy.

My husband bought regular shop light fixtures and had exchange them because the reptile bulb size is "T8" and a regular fluorescent fixture is a "T10" I believe. He got the T8 fixture in Lowes. We also found out that if there is not 2 bulbs in the unit a single light won't light up. I hope that helps!

We have one on our 55 gal. tank which is 48L x 12W x 20H. I would recommend you use two for enough light for your tank. One is adequate for our tank and much brighter than the flourescent fixture we had previously.

I think you would be more happy with the "Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED Plus Light for Aquarium, 48 to 60-Inch". I ended up ordering one of those. You can dim it, select different color spectrums, etc. it has a remote control, and it is more energy efficient.

The photo is correct, it is smaller and very easy to install. I used it on a 12 light led strand and it works great. I was hoping to use one for the above counter and one for below but I found out they were on the same channel.

im using the EconoLed 5M Non-Waterproof 5050 SMD 300 LED Strip Light instead of the one that comes with it. Its much brighter and has more LEDs on it than the default strip.

The 4000k fixture has a slightly whiter light output than the 3500k. There is not a huge difference in the two but if your preference is towards a whiter light I'd go with the 4000k.
