I have an older tank and I need an ACTUAL 24 inch hood. All the ones in the pet stores say they're 24 inch, but they measure 23 inch. Does this one actually measure 24 inches?

I have the 30" hood and its actual measurement is 29" Are you measuring from the inside top of your tank without the hood in place? You want it to fit inside the lip of the tank... Hope this helps..

I bought two hoods for a standard 55 gallon aquarium. It should also work on a 20/29 high tank as well. At work so don't have specs. Nice hood but bulbs they give you are not as bright as I thought .

Hi, I am assuming that you meant dimensions. If this is a hood for a 20 hex tank, it measures 18" across the corners, and 16" from flat to flat. Jerry of petworldstore

Mine was a great fit though I think my tank is considered 20 gallons not 27... even though your estimated side measurements are similar to mine... hope this helps :)

Yes this offering is for a size 12 x 24. We also offer other sizes in this hood.

Because it is 12" longer. It has sockets for 3 incandescent bulbs. The 24" hood can only hold 2 incandescent bulbs.

The hood is 12 inches deep overall. I have a 36x12 slider hood on a 36x18 cage with a screen top. I cut a 36x1/2 inch strip of styrofoam to cover the part of the screen that the hood does not cover to help keep in the heat and humidity (I have a ball python in that cage), or you can leave the 6 inch strip of screen that the hood does not cover open for more ventilation. I love the slider hoods. I now have four of them in different sizes and you can use infra red bulbs or ceramic heaters in them. You can use them on cages with screens or on cages without screens because the hoods have a built in screen to protect the animals from burning themselves on the heat elements. Great product.

The hood sits on the inside edge of the tank. It will fit, it's a standard size. I ordered one for my 10 Gallon tank, the hood is not bright at all. in fact I had a hard time seeing my fish. It's somewhat bright just in the middle, that's where the LED lights are, you can just see shadows near the ends of the tank. I returned the hood, it's just not bright enough. I hope this helps your decision to purchase this hood.

I'm not positive it will fit because my hood is 24x12. My aquarium has a narrow inner rim and measures 12x24. The hood fits fine. The night lite is cool but turn out the lites before lifting hood, they're bright! I really like the hood.

It will fit 24" long tank or longer. But light just has 17.75" long, I don't suggest you to use it for your tank. I use it for my 20 gal plant tank so it protect fit. I mean light is bright enough to keep my plant to grow. If you use it for plant tank, the one 24" to 36" will be better to you.

I have an old hood light fixture that I got years ago when I got my first Beardie. There is no maker's mark on it. It looks like Reptisun. But it is a hood type fixture that sits on top of the wire tank lid. Any correct size fixture should do. You can check them out at a pet store just to be sure and then come back to Amazon for the best price:)

Unfortunately it will be to small. The hood itself is 15 inches flat side to flat side and 17 inches on the diagonal. It fits right on the inside lip of the tank.

You can pick 5 different options. under "size" you have options CT24, CTAC, GW19 , LS24, UM42. These "Sizes" are all different hood options. Select one and hit buy it now.

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.

My tank is 24" side to side and 12.5", front to back......the fit is perfect.

For anyone else looking at this hood for Petco's 40G breeder tank, it's just about 1/8" too wide. I'm debating whether to return it or see if I can somehow shave down the ends. It also arrived with the glass cracked, but since this is for hermit crabs, I would be removing the glass to use with a UVB bulb anyway.

My 24 inch long is exactly 24 inch , I have a 55 gallon corner aquarium and it looks incredible, I do run 3 bulbs in it , the blue colored light for it is great and the night time light is perfect for fish , I would get 48 inch if it fits on your glass . 2 24 's would not look neat to me on top
