I measure 1 3/8 inches from the top of my tank edge to the top of the fixture. Be aware that the wire feet of the fixture hang outside the top edge of the tank, so there may be interference with your canopy at those points.

it's an inch and a quarter from my glass top to the top of the light fixture.

The bottom of the fixture sits approx. 1/8 of an inch above glass top. The top of the fixture sits 1" above glass top.

The light sits about one inch above the glass top of my aquarium. The total height of the frame and light above the glass top maybe 1 1/2 - 2 inches max. I also have a wood canopy and have plenty of room with the light. It's an awesome light btw.

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.

We had ours the same way as the picture but had to move them around so the cats could get to the top. It's also near a dresser and they use that to get to the top too. They love it!

Our lamp sits on top of the tank, facing down(we have a screen cover) and the cord is not as long as one would wish about 3feet tops

I bought the Zoo Med AvianSun Deluxe Floor Pet Lamp. I would check your silver clip on feature and make sure that it is at least 12" away from your bird... that is the recommended bulb height from your bird. I can tell you that if you've never used this bulb before you will notice a HUGE difference in the happiness of your bird, I noticed it right away with mine. My bird loves sitting under the light. I even have my bird cage sitting in front of a window... but on cloudy days the sun is shinning very bright and is depressing even to people. If your silver clip on feature has a regular light bulb socket then I would try, FeatherBrite 15 Watt Full-Spectrum Bulb or this one... they both have the regular light socket size screw in.

Good question. It is really too small for my cats to sit on and they usually jump right to the top. Sometimes they scratch it. The scratching post is hard for them to reach. Both sit on the top and look out the window, which is what I got it for.

it's pretty heavy, thick-walled glass, depends on how big your cats are and how determined they are to knock it over. I would just try my best to keep it out of their reach.

Depending on how high you mount the light above the aquarium and how intense you want the light to be can determine how much coverage you need. If you aren't growing corals that need a ton of light, 1 light would do probably mounted 10 to 12 inches above the aquarium I would guess.

I use on a 30 gallon taller tank and it is very bright, really lights up the tank very nice:)

I would say yes if your tank is not longer than the length of the light. The light has "feet" that can slide in and out to adjust for your tanks width and hold the light above the tanks top. I am very happy with my light.

i use it sitting on a glass top. my tank is a 20 long so it is hard to open the cover with the light sitting on it. light itself is great.

Obvious answer, but I wanted to know if this top would fit over the flat top that came with the tank. If I'd have had more space, I would have added that my cats are drinking the water out of the aquarium because the flat top has a rather large opening where the water filter goes, I would like to put a cover over that so the cats couldn't get at the water.

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

It's on my 20 gallon high tank for turtles and they seem happy under it. Only weird thing is its a fiber optic bulb for the heat bulb port. Have to order those bulbs online because hard to find. Any other questions u can email me at scubagurl69@gmail.com

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.

You could if, first you had a glass top it could sit on or second you hung it above the tank. Otherwise the strip light is too short.

The top is 12X24. I put a piece of plexiglass underneath the tank. I would suggest something like that just so your tank has the extra support. I have a 10gal tank on it.

I wouldn't know. Personally I had to measure the top of my tank which is a 50 gal tall and covered with "egg crate" grate. The lights are true to size so measure the top of your tank and go from there. Hope that helps
