I have a 60 gallon tank..48 inches long. Would one 20 inch strip be enough or should I put 2 end to end? Or is it just a personal taste thing?

If you want get a good amount of coverage in your tank with the colored lights, you would want to get 2. 1 of them wouldn't be enough for a tank that long.

Depends on your design. Two would fit well, but now you've got twice as many wires and hoses. Also consider that these are quite bright/intense colors and light.

My 24 inch long is exactly 24 inch , I have a 55 gallon corner aquarium and it looks incredible, I do run 3 bulbs in it , the blue colored light for it is great and the night time light is perfect for fish , I would get 48 inch if it fits on your glass . 2 24 's would not look neat to me on top

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.

I can make an educated guess. my tank is 20". But the extra length is 4", but not much more. So measure carefully.

Too much? Lol this is perfect for a ten gallon. And you have a 55 which makes me think it's not enough. That's me responding at a 2. Don't make me turn it up to a ten. In all seriousness there is not anything you can do. However, I am still honestly surprised it's too much. May I ask how?

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!

For a 24 inch long 20 gallon tank I would recommend the 18 to 24 inch light.

I would suggest something a little longer and wider but it really depends on the size of the snake. Your average 40 gallon aquarium would work nicely.

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.

I've only used it for 20 gallon long tanks, which fit great. Check the measurements of the tank you want to get.

Depends what you are keeping. For a coral tank with few to none sps, 1 650 should be just fine, I'd start there. If you decide you need more, just add another later on.

Without seeing a picture of the setup I would have to say yes. For it to work properly you want it to cover as much of the bottom of the tank as possible

I would err on the side of caution and go with two. I use mine in a thirty gallon live well on my boat and it is more than sufficient to keep bait alive for a couple days. Fish tanks can have several thousand dollars tied up in tropicals and if it were my tank two would be my choice.

no it would not look funny would look fine in fact you want one a little bigger because the actual lights on these end about 3-4" from the ends. I have a 36" on my 30" tank looks great.

It fits perfectly into the upper ridge of my 10-gallon standard tank, and it definitely doesn't fit our 20 long. 20 long is a fairly standard size, though. I would filter for Marineland, and look for one specifically for a 20 long.

Yes just a normal regular light like this one: All Glass Aquarium AAG25920 Fluorescent Strip Light, 20-Inch Your regular standard light. Just pick one that is your length of your tank.

I would not use it I have a 55 gallon and it only light like a mall corner its not bright enough. I would use a long strip instead....
