What size is the light fixture. How many do I need for a tank 60" X 24" X 24"?

same wattage... the lights are just spread out further to cover more area... I have two 16s for my 75 gallon and I like them a lot... with two I program the lights to follow across the tank as if the sun is rising passing over and setting.... having one light you could not do that... how ever, I would think on a 55 one 24 inch would suffice because it should cover more of an area than one 16 inch... same watts but more area covered.

For a wide and deep tank with high light plants, you'll probably want two fixtures. One keeps medium light plants happy in a 72 bow.

it is a true 24x60 inside dimension, if you get the light kit they will take up 2 inches of the inside.Hope this helps

Hi, I actually am not sure exactly. But if I had to guess I say something close to 5x7. The entire fixture is pretty large overall and while it works well for the space, if I had seen it in a store I probably would have chosen a slightly smaller fixture.

honestly the light is great but not for a planted tank. If you decide to go with this, you will probably need 2. one on each side of the middle brace. I dont know what the dimensions are on each side so just measure that out and go with the closest size available to cover each side from left to right. (I think two 36") My recommendations for a planted tank would be to go with the Finnex FugeRay Planted+ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GH9HSC6/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have a 37 planted tank and it works great. It is a deep tank and everything both short and tall grows fantastically. Again, with this I would go with two separate lights to cover your tank.

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.

60 watt. If you need more light but want to use this fixture, go with an LED or compact fluorescent bulb. You can get more light for less wattage.

The unit is exactly 24" in length with extenders on both sides that will extend the total out 26". I have a 48" wide 60 gal tank with a bar at the top in the center so I use 2 of the 24" units. I tried a 48" unit first but the center bar wouldn't allow the unit to sit securely. The units come with a single led bulb, but will house 3. You will want at least 2 bulbs per unit. In spite of the expense, I now have 3 bulbs per unit. Beware of knocking them into the tank! I managed to ruin one of the units by doing so! Best of luck!

From my setup, at approximately 60 cm above the bottom of aquarium, the light spread is 60x60 cm. The light spread is greater the higher the fixture is above the tank. A 200x60x60 tank would need a minimum of 3 fixtures. This light fixture is amazing. It's well built, the spectrum is beautiful, it has great depth penetration, and can be used to grow anything photosynthetic. If you're going to grow riccia or glossostigma, use this light in conjunction with CO2 and you'll get ridiculous growth. Keep in mind that this light is very bright, you'll probably have to use the built-in dimmer to dial down the brightness to a level that is appropriate for your plants. Hope this helps.

I would say definitely not. I have the 36-48" single bright on a 3 ft tank, 30 gal. I feel the light is just adequate and I'm glad I didn't get the 24-36". The light doesn't spread out a lot either so I would think you would want to light full length of your tank with 2 x 36-48s. Even with that, growing plants will not be an option. Hope this helps.

These lamps take a 3-way bulb; mine currently have a 30/70/100. I'm sure you can fit a single 60W if you prefer.

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.

Hi there. My light,- the actual light bar itself, measures 22inches. It also has two metal prong/bars that extend from either side that fit over the top of the aquarium, that measure , in total, 36 inches. The extensions keep the light raised slightly off the top of the aquarium,probably for heat circulation. I didn't like the way the light hit my eyes, so I didn't use them. LEDs are pretty warm, and the top of my acrylic tank is now warped a it . Not a big deal for me. So, I think the 24to36 would be a good size, unless you want the light bar in direct contact with your aquarium top. The light is very bright, does that cool wave thing, and has supported my live plants well. The automatic on, off, of the white and blue lights is a perk I did not think I needed. But, it's great as a convenience, and easy to program. Hope this helps, if a bit wordy

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.
