36 inch tank 30 gallons. Could I get away with 1 light for coral??

You would have to raise it really high to get light over everything... Hint , leds with reds , yellows , blue, violet (full spectrum ) grow coral good..
1568182
yes by all means it will work, I have a 125 gallon tank with 3 alo9's works fine . Word of caution start out with the light as low as possible adjust as needed
1568183
Yes. It will do a great job. My 100 gal Mixed stony reef is flourishing under 2 units. They are dimmed down slightly at 14k.

Absolutely, I keep sps in my 20 gallon tank at half intensity with no problem

I use two for my 55 gallon reef. SPS/LPS mix. I only run them at ~70% strength and everything does great. I think one would be good.

YES if you hang the light 12 inches or higher and you put your light demanding corals more towards the middle ... put lower light demanding corals more towards the end of the tank .. side note: these leds pin point light so be very careful acclimating coral

I have 36" wide 75 gallon tank and I have one of these up. Had it about 2 months my corals are doing ok so far. I have mostly soft corals and a few lps corals. I've noticed my soft corals have lost some color right under the light so its a little stronger than my 150w metal halide. Any wider and I would suggest 2 of these though as the light drops off pretty fast on the edges of my tank, but my soft corals are ok with that

Unfortunately, we are not sure. I emailed company twice to find out and they never responded with the answer I needed. It came very well packed, but with not instructions. Just light, hanging kit and a sticker that has their name on it. I would assume anywhere between 12,000-14,000 K. We have the light hanging 9 inches above a 30 gallon cube tank and the corals are doing awesome! I love how you can dim both the blue and white LEDs.

I run 2 48" end to end on my 300 gallon fresh water tank---lighting is great!

Depends on tank size, mine is over a 20 gallon tall, and is successfully lighting duncans, hammer, and various favia and favites. Also look at the reef breeders nano par 38 lamps, they're not too much more $.

Hi Jose... No, you would need the fluorescent light as well. This led isn't powerful enough by itself to sustain your corals.

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.

This would really depend on the type of tank you are planning. For a Fish Only style tank, two of the Pro LED Strips would give decent light coverage. For "low" light requiring corals you would want at least 4 strips. One power supply (sold separately) can run two of the 36"L strips with a splitter cable (sold separately).

I only have a 29 gallon and my tank is loving the lights. My personal opinion is that it would be better to run two with a 60 gallon. Current is great though. You will love it!

36" or some plants will not grow well and the tank will be unevenly lit. You always want it pretty close to the tank length if you are using plants with your fish. My tanks have plants everywhere because I give them light and it not even very bright either.

You will need at least 2 for sure. I have a 30" tank and one just barely does it. If I had room for another one I would put acsecondbon the tank to get better light at the bottom.

Depends on what you have in the tank and the length. 4 foot wide fish only two 24" light pack will do. If you have coral you would probly want 4 24" minimum. High lighting coral need 3-4 watts per gallon. Most coral 2-3 watts per gallon will do.

I would sayou no I have a 90 gal and have to run a 48 " florescent as well.it is dim with just the orbit your zoas my be ok with only a single light .

Should be. I originally had my light on a 30 gallon and it was chock full of plants that had no trouble growing under it.

The light will definitely not bother your fish. Certain corals, however, need a larger variety of light spectrum in order to thrive. You may want to look up what light spectrum your specific corals require, but the fact that the light is more blue than white will not be detrimental to your tank overall. You may find that you need more light for some of your corals. Good luck.

Probably not bright enough for a reef tank. Marine land makes one that is reef bright though. If you were using it in conjunction with other lights to fill out the color spectrum and add intensity it would work. Other than that I've been pleased with mine, I did have an issue with it, but marine land had a new one to me in under a week.

Manufacturer recommends it for 5 gallon, I think it works well even for 10 gallons, but for 30 you'd need at least two lamps....
