How far will the legs extend beyond the body of the light itself. I have an custom 28" tank?

Looks like i can get the legs to extend 1" on both sides of the light without falling off track

legs extend approx 1" on each side. if you have a glass top, you can probably get away with a 24" fugeray, and the legs will just sit on top of either the plastic frame of the aquarium, or the glass top. with 120 degree spread of the led's, the light SHOULD disperse well enough to cover your entire aquarium. if you do not have a glass top, then you will definitely have to get a 30" fugeray, bcuz the legs of the 24" will not extend to the edges of your sweet 28" custom aquarium, and you wouldn't want the light falling into the water & frying your fishies�

You would want to get the 30 inch lamp, the legs can be adjusted down to fit a 28 inch. The legs on the 24 will only adjust out to a maximum of 27 inches. Or you could get the 24 and lay it flat on the glass hood like I do In one setup, or you could mount a couple of slats inside a wooden canopy to hold the light like I have in my other setup.

The legs slide in a groove. It's pretty ingenious actually. For a 28" you'd want the 30" light for sure.

i believe 71" is the maximum extended length. this was useful for me since i was hanging from high ceiling over a stairwell. 16 lbs. sounds about right, this is a pretty substantial light. great value for the money.

U ordered the 24-36" version and the actual light is only 22" long. It has arms that pull out to support it for larger applications. I don't know for sure but It might fit . It might end up resting directly on the top....

I have a glass top so that set up works and the light lays on top. The metal legs extend several inches though, so this would safely lay accross a 48 inch tank (maybe/probably even larger) without a glass top without risk of falling in as a result of being too narrow. I do not know if it would fit snug or not.

Yes, it will fit on the top edge of the tank. There are adjustable screws to secure it. Good light for the price. Be patient with the switch. I dealt with it by keeping it on and plug it into a timer.

I am not sure how much light you need. I am using mine in a 4'x2'x2' for my panther chameleon but I am only about 12inches away. I think even though your tank is smaller since you have a bigger distance you would be okay. I love this light and do recommend it.

As far as I know you can. You may want to get a stand for the light so that way it's not sitting directly in the top of tank or whatever you are using.

Light is 32", 33" if you mount with the ears of the legs pointing in (tedious work if you mount this way. But way secure) and 34.8" mounted like in the picture leg ears out.

I just measured it for you! It is 70 inches (72 inches is 6 feet). I think it may fit your situation because the light itself has the "bendable" neck.

the legs will extend approximately an inch on each side, so no it will not reach the end of the aquarium.

Well, the great thing about this light is, it can be adjusted. You can adjust the light spectrum to your liking as well as, the light intensity. For that size tank all you would have to do is have the light intensity not so high. Overall, I think it'll be just fine for that size tank. This is a great lightning system and so far I love how it looks on my tank, which is a 20 gallon tall tank. Hope this helped. :)

no, you would need no shorter than 72" lighting system and if your tank is shallow.

I would not use this light with a non-planted tank as the PAR would support algae. I would use a basic LED light if you want viewing ability only along with the shimmer effect they create. I don't believe you can purchase extended mounts either.

I use to used 2 of these for low light plants on my standard tetra "55" g tank (its actually more like 48g and mis-sold as 55.. but I digress) the 24"-36", it has 4 rows of lights that only cover about 17.5" in the center of that 24" space, the 36" is just max leg extension. I removed one leg from each light and put the de-legged side on the center brace (I put a 1" bar on top of the brace to keep lights level), pushing the 2 lights together they fit snugly on top. It worked well for low light aquarium plants like anubias , java fern, vals, mosses, and marimo. However if you want medium light plants I'd strongly advise a different brand made for plant growth.. or just get 6500kelvnin cfls bulbs and clamp on lamps (3-4x) if you don't mind the look of them. I've upgraded to a 2 bulb 6500k t5 light over my "55"g now.

Yes. I have mine about 2 inches above the tank, with a 24 inch high tank. I get about 35 PAR light intensity. With it on a 18 inch high tank you should get about 50-60 PAR, which is medium to high light, if not high light. If you have aquatic plants in the aquarium you will need to use pressurized CO2 or you will most likely have problems with algae.

The 20" goes edge to edge but is a lot of light in my spec v. I Need To Get Co2 IN it.

this light is 36 inches long its on my 40 gallon breeder tank. im not sure if it will fit your tank of not.
