Will this light fit OK with a 55 gallon planted tank that has a glass top? I don't want an open top aquarium.

Yes, though you may need to slide it back some temporarily to open the glass all of the way without catching the outer corner of the glass on the front legs. But I've used two clamped together on a 55g without much problem.

Not sure on the dimensions of a 55 but it fits a 75 perfect and the legs adjust so it sits on the . outside edge. I would think it would work in your situation

I have the same fixture over my 55, and it has a decent space between the light and the top of the tank to allow for heat exchange. It'll be fine with a glass top.

It depends on what type of plant tank you have should work fine since it's feet are adjustable. my tank which already has a cover works fine on top of this. Not sure if I would recommend it if you plan to leave it flush on top of the tank with no cover. works fine if you leave it above the tank with the feet/stands on the tank sides in which stands about 4-5" above the top.

Yes, it will fit but one fixture will barely get you out of the "low-light" status.

It will depend more on your lid I believe. This unit has legs that are set on the edge of the tank. If your glass top is fully recessed into the top, so that it is flush with the top of the tank, it should be fine. If there is anything that will get in the way of the legs of this unit, it may not work.

Are you trying to mount the light in the hood ?..we have a glass top that the light sits on its a great light and should fit fine on a five gallon tank. Vut can't say for sure if tour trying to put it in a hood

As long as the light spans the top of the aquarium, there should be no problem. This light is very bright and provides excellent illumination, both for viewers and for the fish and plants. The greatest thing about this is the gradual setting sun and moonlight modes. The only drawback for this unit is that, if your electricity goes off or the lamp is unplugged, you will have to reprogram it the time, sunset, and moon settings.

I think it will light up a 55 gal tank nicely. We have a 125 gal tank, and 2 of them do the trick.The metal extensions allow it to expand to 36".

I have a 100 gallon cylindrical tank 18" x 72 " works fine very good lights, even illumination, intensity adjustable, can do white, or blue light or combination, and moon light

It sure will! This light is very bright. The night time blue leds look beautiful at night too. It's good for 100 gallon tanks too.

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

I too am using a wood canopy on my 55 gallon tank to keep cats out. The light works perfectly. It only stands maybe 1 - 2 inches above the tank, and it produces very little heat, so that is also another plus.

Yes you can. We bought this item for our 55 gallon tank without a glass top and the water mist has no effect on the LED lights. We love it Jamie

The lighting will most definitely provide enough light. You may want to look at the bigger models to fit a 90 gallon though. This one fits up to 20gal long aquariums

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. :)

Yep. The feet fit into slots in the fixture and slide out easily. The light would lie flat on a glass top. It may sit on the edges of the aquarium depending on how it's trimmed.

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 don't think this size will fit a 55 gallon tank you may need to get two or one that fits a 55 gallon tank. It barley fits my 29 gallon tank it it wasn't for my filter it would probably fall into my tank.

I have the 24" light on a 29 gal tank which is also 30" long. It sits on my glass versa top on legs about an inch tall. Provides great light - enough to grow plants and lots if algae. The moonlights are neat ! I think you can use the 24" and save some money unless you need the 30" light to rest on the sides of the tank. The LED lights are the best !

It's a general light. We got the extra light strips to add brightness and spectrum, and it's still not enough to keep the plants alive in our tank (55 gallon, 48" length). Maybe if you have a shallower tank, it might work.

This item is very bright. I have a 55 gallon tank and it's just right for my tank. This would be way too much for your tank. You would end up with more alge.
