will the 24''to 36'' give my 75 gallon light up my tank good or should I go with the 36''to 48'' light I got salt water fish

A 75 Gallon is usually 36" in width or length, so I would recommend the 36" to 48". That way, when you have the LED lights on, it will be a bit brighter in the right and left side of the tank, as well. My suggestion, though, is if you want it pretty bright, then I'd go with the Double Bright LED lights.

Hello, I have a 55gallon tank so I purchased the "36-48'' light. It lights my tank well but if I didn't have a canopy to cover the light, I would have ordered the 48" light as a light that completely covers the tank looks better if you don't have a canopy. Hope this helps. Rhandi

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.

Yea i have a 55 gallon thats 36" as well. Its actually fits really well. I have it about 30" above my tank so its covering it from end to end. Powerful light for sure.

It works wonderfully on my 29 mixed reef with SPS in the top half however the ~2" at the sides of the tank are a little under-lit. It is definitely bright enough for the depth of a 75 gallon but I would recommend using 2 lights to fully light the length of the 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.

You would need a stronger lite for a tank that size of you wish to have corals . Fish only might be ok

You would want the 24"-36"for maximum light coverage of the entire length of the tank.

More then enough, put it on a timer or you will get algae everywhere. I have the 36" on my 50 gallon and have second light for the fish because I run it for two five hour period with 1 hour between. This cut down on algae but lets plants thrive. I have a true lumen on a ramp timer for the fish. It fades up in the morning and evening and provide ambient light for the fish so the no longer jump around when the Finnex goes on or off, especially mid day.

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

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!

The aqueon lights have different lengths (led bulb length ) you need to measure the longest length on your aquarium cover and your aquarium must have a safe cover top to rest this light on . We have a 55 gallon corner tank and bought a 24 inch that rest on secure glass top. When they say 24 inch they mean it .there is no better light than this and we have 3 LEDs in unit and one is blue colored , aquarium is gorgeous ! The night time red light is perfect!

It depends on the dimensions of the tank. If you have a 4 foot tank, one light will not be enough. I have 3 of these over my 6 foot, 225 gallon tank and all of my corals seem to be doing well over the last 2 months. I have a couple Favia that don't seem to like it. But I have other LPS and SPS that are showing growth.

Yea for sure I'm using one light fixture on my 90 gallon tall tank which has a similar footprint with a 40 gallon breeder. 36 inch long 18 inch wide and 32 inches tall. The light is plenty strong make sure you hang it a east 12 inches from top of the water to get good light dispersal for a three foot tank. Also takes some careful aqua scaping so you don't get any shadows on the side. Mine looks like a volcano very high in the middle and slopes down on both sides so as not creating casting almost any shadows. I run it at almost 80-90 percent and eveif I ran two I would probably not have aqua scales this way but I like the look and my coral in the bottom sandbed are getting enough light. I get ton of coralline algae on the sides of the tank so I am pretty confident the light is spreading enough. I don't have a gazillion corals so I did not see the need for more than one light and having one now I can definitely see that I can surely add more in the future without any problems. I am even having luck with sps corals so this is the real deal! You will definitely not be able to run them up that high intensity since the breeder is so much more of a shallow tank but that's good because you will be saving on electricity, also another reason I ran one light... Make sure you a climate your corals from very little light these lights are super powerful!

With the legs fully extended it adds about 2 more inches. But the legs are adjustable you can adjust them to fit your tank. This light is for any aquariums that are 48 inches long. Hope this answers your question, any more questions just ask.

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.

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 $.

I have a 65 gal (36" wide, 24" high, 18" deep) mixed reef (including fish, clams, sps, lps and a few softies) and have 2 36-48" units, obviously affixed as 36". Everything is great especially my maxima and derasa clams, euphillia, Birdsnest, all lps great. Oddly the softies don't grow as fast. I love the lights, you could start with one unit and add more later if u want.
