Why does the 16" Programmable have 55 LEDs but the 24" has 51? That makes no sense. I have a 55G bowed aquarium, which should I use?

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.

I was looking at these for my daughter, different brands and shops. The AquaSun kind sold at Petco have modules with 4 white and 2 blue LEDs per module and are changeable; their videos shows a 4 white/2 red LED module for plants. However I haven't found where you can buy the red modules... Probably too new for that yet? If what you have now is still working I would wait and see what comes out by the end of this year. If you have a lot of plants in good shape you DON'T want to risk losing them.

McKAy105, Did you buy this? I am shopping for LED lighting for my 30" deep 150g tank, and would love feedback or other recommendations! Thanks!

Depending on how many LEDs you're using, but 20 Guage will probably be plenty. If you use a dimmer, make sure that you're using one that is a pulse width modulator and not just a potentiometer or rheostat.

i have the 46". Sales info says its LED but the manual says it's an LCD. i think it's a generic manual.The box says it's an LED and 240 refresh rate. We've had it 2 months now and we love it.

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.

50 watts x 16= 800. You shouldn't be using the included lights though, unless you want to climb up and change them annually and rack up electricity charges on your bill. Do what I did and get LED. The wattage I got for them was like 5 watts, but they are equivalent to 50 watts. Uses a total of 80 watts on brightest mode. Less on dim... The chandelier is amazing and people think I have spent 4 to 7k on the display. Do it right though. LED 5 Watt lights, and replace these immediately.

I bought the 24" for my 30 gal tank. It said 24"-36" I believe. The light was 24" and the legs extended out the sides so it would fit up to 36". Great light but if you have a 77" tank I doubt that 48" will work for you.

Yes, my aquarium is also 24 deep, it provides good light all the way to the bottom. I have no problems with my hairgrass or my Glossostigma, which I couldn't get to grow with the t8's.

The 16x24 is great for video. I got this lights for product photography and i use only one like but for portraits i use all of them. If you want to see what it looks like for video light set up. Search for this product on youtube. I saw this guy show it off on his set up. I saw the quality of the light with video and it was great. That should help you choose. But you also have to keep in mind your set up space and if you will move them around. That should also be keep in mind. Hope that helps.

There are a total of 15 LEDs inside the day white tube included in the package. My kill-a-watt meter read 5.0 watts power consumption for the whole fixture. It comes down to about 0.3W per LED. I cannot find any detail spec of the LEDs on the manufacturer website. The word "BG15-15LED-V03-HS" is printed on the LED circuit strip but no info could be found by google it. My best guess is the LEDs are about 6000-7000K, by comparing it to my other aquarium LEDs I have. The included day white tube is bright enough to light up any tanks no more than 16 inch deep but you definitely need 2 more tubes or build your own LED tube if it is for a planted tank.

I would go by the item description as opposed to the picture. They keep upgrading the LEDs... If you order the 700 and find it has been upgraded to the 750... Great! And if you order a 750 and get a 700... Return it to Amazon. But I wouldn't order something that says 700 (even if the picture says 750) and be upset when a 700 arrived. Frankly... if you can find the 700 for substantially cheaper than the 750... I'd say it would be a no-brainer.

I don't know. It is a strip of LEDs and it is quite bright enough with that one strip to adequately light a 65 gallon aquarium

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�

I use it in a 55 gallon aquarium...although it is only as long as 1/2 it lights up the whole thing sufficiently. It is obviously dimmer at the far end but still sufficient. The intensity levels for the white and blue LEDs have 5 different settings.

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 24 gal is 36 x 12 and supports my lps and sps coral growth. The light has a setting for maximum coral growth and that is what I keep it on.
