Would this be suitable for a 7 gallon nano cube (W, H, and D all 11.8") containing dwarf baby tears or other high light plants?

I think light output would be fine, but because it is a linear design not sure it's best choice for a 12x12 cube ... a better choice might be 2 smaller clamp lights, or a tile-shaped light, like the AquaRay Mini 500

I think it should be good enough, I use it to grow plants in my 15+ gallon refugium. Need to be careful with the two plastic knobs that assemble the neck, don't over tighten them, they will break.

Yeah it should be. I think the most light demanding plant I am growing is rotala indica and it grows like crazy. Everything else I am growing is not as demanding but doing well also (anubis nana, subwassertang, moss balls, java fern, and java moss).

Low light plants like Anubias, java fern, and Crypts. I dont know if I would try it with others that need more. Definately not flourishing but very slow steady growth. I didnt buy it with the expectations that it would grow stuff, but tried it out just to see. I think I would go with something more powerful if growing plants was your goal.

Well I wouldn't put it in a bucket but it would work for a plant in a 5 gal bucket

it is smallish (Chis size), but big enough for a 4-inch plant. probably even a six inch plant.it will not hold a pot. Youwould have to plant the plants inside the watering can.

It should work perfectly fine for a refugium. I use it as the sole light on a 10 gallon planted and it's pretty awesome.

they're about 12" high so would work for small plants. They do tend to lift in strong winds so you may have to set them in lower and push some dirt up onto the plastic to keep them from getting away.

depends on your plants. It may be adequate for low light plants but definitely not good enough for medium to high light plants.

Plenty of light for that depth. I would say enough for medium plants. You could probably also do the ray2 if looking for more alternatives.

If you have a nano fish-only then this would work fine, but nowhere near enough light output for corals. (maybe some softies?) I am using one, but as a light over my sump/refugium on my saltwater tank.

Depends on the size of the plants. This light is about 14" square, and throws a slightly spread spot almost straight down. If they're small, 3-4 plants would fit

It all depends, if you have small baby plants yes but they are quite small. So probably think about something bigger. Hope it helped.

It is perfect for my 8 gallon JBJ nano cube, I think it will be the same for a 5 gallon.

I found it to be great for low light loving plants. Best if you don't move the plants around or vacuum.

If you are growing "easy" low demand aquarium plants you will be fine. I also use FLOURISH with good results. If you are growing water lillys you cant feed them enough so you will have to add fertilizer spikes

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

I use it as a refugium and I have it with the legs without the lid and it seems to be working great. It's been setup for about a year without any issues and the lights are wonderful grows chaeto like crazy. Great little fuge for a nano tank.

It would be good for plants!!! Its not as big as it seems in picture! But its still cute!
