Would this light be good for a 30 inch deep tank. I need a new light for my 140g.

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!

It would really depend on what you are keeping. I'd say you would need two deep for fish only.

I have it on a 24" deep tank and it lights the entire tank end to end and corner to corner. It's a 48"x24"x24" 120g

It is great light for my 75g, the only thing you should look at is it's length, i have a 75 long, and i must extend the arms out to its longest setting to allow it to sit on top, and then the lights are shorter than the tanks length by a little. hope this helps.

My tank is only 14 inch deep. The light easily lights the bottom of my tank. On the bright settings it would probably do the job if you do not have dark gravel.

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

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 .

Depends on how wide your tank is. The light will only expand to reach over 60". However the light itself is only 48" wide. I do have the same light over my corals and they seem to love it. I definitely love and recomend the light

Dena...this led light is sufficient for a ten gallon tank used for planted aquariums...so if you are using this for a 29 gallon sump then it wouldn't be bright enough for cirals or plants...However, 12 gallon refugium should be fine but I would recommend two units for ultra bright...please let me know if you have any questions

The 16" light legs may extend far enough, since you only need an inch on either side. The 20inch would or course overhang your tank but the legs could push farther in and fit on the 18". The 20" would give more light output too, I can tell you on my 10g (20"long) tank it provides more medium than low light.

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.

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.

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

That will probably be most dependant on what you have in the tank. The LEDs are pretty bright and can most certainly light up a tank of the right dimensions.

20"x10"x12" LxWxH is a 10 gallon leader size I believe, so this light should be pretty good for that depth of aquarium.

My aquarium is 36" wide... and the light provides plenty of light, on hot days the lights warm the water - depending on the fish or the environment you have you may then opt to run the blue light's (moon light) setting only. Otherwise you should have plenty of simulated reef light.

Might be a little big for a 2g tank and powerful, id suggest a robot led lamp or something smaller as this is a 24w lamp and quite powerful to penetrate deep water.

I have a 30 inch deep tank and the light coverage is fine for softies and Lps corals but the spa corals need to be up close to the fixture.

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!

Im running it on 75Gal (21" deep) I get low light at the substrate at best. I've said before to get medium light I would need 4 of these on my tank.

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