This hood does include the actual lighting fixture. One measures just 24" long.

It will fit, but mind these estimated measurements: There's a 2 1/5" x 22 13/16" plastic piece that goes on the back. The glass part measures 22 13/16" long. The edges of the glass piece from back to front measures ~7 7/8". The center of the glass measures ~11 1/2". It's a pretty pronounced bow. After giving the measurements of my tank to the mfg, they stated that this would fit my 27 gallon tank. The bow on my tank is not as pronounced. It would fit better on my tank if the edges of the glass from back to front were about 9 1/4" with all the other measurements OK. With this said, there's a gap on each side.

Hi Shannon I'm pretty sure it would fit the edge because it's just a 5 inch square but I'm not sure I would. After a while the plants got lots and lots of algea on them. I think the lights are just to bright with to many lumens. But there is one thing I would recommend. Try taking the lid off of the edge and then getting a thin submersible pump. Remove the pump it came with and then buy a fluval 13 watt compact florescent Mabey two because of the depth of the tank. I know for a fact that that grows plants because I've been using one on my fluval planted tank which has been growing strong for almost 5 months. I hope this helps.

If I rememer correctly the 24" will work but it won't go across the entire tank so you will have some part either not lit or dinner than the rest. I would suggest going bigger especially if you are going to have live plants.

I cannot say that the f2c5535 bulb will fit your fixture. It's certainly a function of the diameter of the inner bulb which has to fit within some spring clips on the fixture. There is nothing in either set of numbers that tells me this diameter. I think that the T6 number is the size of the glass bulb which is about what mine is, also the 55W is fifty five watts and the 3500K is the lumens or brightness. The higher the number the brighter the bulb. Sorry, but I don't know what the rest of the numbers stand for, but somewhere you need to find the diameter of the bulb to fit in the mounting clips.

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.

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".

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.

I got the same tank as you and ordered these last year. They work pretty well for my heavy planted aquarium.You don't need to set it up separately. All you need to do is to clip the new light onto your original set up.

Not a standard 25 watt lightbulb but a smaller aquarium bulb style would fit. However, I would try to keep with a smaller wattage or use fluorescent bulbs as the heat from a 25 watt bulb may be a bit much. There isn't a lot of room for the bulbs and heat dissipation may be an issue. I use a compact fluorescent with mine and have great success with plants and have sufficient lighting.

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.

Hi there. My light,- the actual light bar itself, measures 22inches. It also has two metal prong/bars that extend from either side that fit over the top of the aquarium, that measure , in total, 36 inches. The extensions keep the light raised slightly off the top of the aquarium,probably for heat circulation. I didn't like the way the light hit my eyes, so I didn't use them. LEDs are pretty warm, and the top of my acrylic tank is now warped a it . Not a big deal for me. So, I think the 24to36 would be a good size, unless you want the light bar in direct contact with your aquarium top. The light is very bright, does that cool wave thing, and has supported my live plants well. The automatic on, off, of the white and blue lights is a perk I did not think I needed. But, it's great as a convenience, and easy to program. Hope this helps, if a bit wordy

I have a 55 gallon tank and 2 works perfect. Comes with the whole top. Popped the old one out and new ones fit right in

I use it on an aquarium light and it works great. I would think it would be fine.

Well the aquarium you mentioned is 10.5" wide. The light is literally 10" long. I think you could do the 12" fuge ray though as the clamps can slide inward. There might be a little over hang. The Finnex Fugeray-R Ultra Slim Aquarium LED Light Fixture might be a better option depending on what your trying to do?

No. I had to purchase a T8 shop light fixture (Home Depot) to replace a T5 version I had on hand. I use it over a 90 gal. Aquarium in which I keep an adult female yellow bellied turtle. She's healthy and is still growing every year. I replace the bulbs every year. Good luck.

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.
