ordered this skimmer but its not compatible with my current hood and lights due to the depth, what are good options for a 55 gal aquarium?

This is probably the only mini skimmer with some type of effectiveness. You might wanna consider using lime stones in a diy project. You would be surprised, they do work pretty well when adjusted properly

I have been using this hood for several months on a 55 gal. Plants in this tank have been growing better than in my other tank, which has the proper t8 bulbs for plants. So I would disagree with the other opinions.

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.

I am looking for a replacement light for my tank. Does anyone know where I can buy one? I went back to walmart but they did not have anything. This light is in the hood of the tank.

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

I would upgrade and not bother with this.. it's a decent skimmer but not really worth it on that Size of a tank.. want a cheaper decent skimmer the coralife 65 is decent.. I had this on a 20 gal reef and it worked nicely but suction cups suck and would release from the glass and float around and the air line to keep the water pulling through always collected salt and would clog up... decent skimmer but do not recommend for a 55 gal.

Zoo Med Laboratories AZMHLC15 15-Watt Highlights Incandescent Bulb, ClearThat is a 15 watt bulb that will fit this hood. I'm assuming the hood is for a 5 gallon or so tank so that would give you 3 watts per gallon. In my tank this has been plenty for my plants. Incandescent bulbs can produce some warmth, though so keep an eye on the temperature in your tank. Hope this helps.

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

Well i know exo terra has lights that go with this unit. Search for the size of your tank for the correct light hood. You can also purchase this tank with the light as a package. I did not purchase a light because I am using this tank for hermit crabs. If you are having trouble finding the light, let me know and i will do a search.

The 16 inch fixture would be the best fit. Just a heads up that with such a small volume, and being only 10 inches deep, that is very high light for that aquarium. Adding Co2, and ferts will raise the maintenance needed, along with the headache and pain of dosing a pico tank with CO2.

The bolt pattern should match with your existing skimmer. We installed ours with no problem and it's worked well all summer.

I have 2 56 gal marineland aquariums. One has a marineland 220 with an internal fluval 4 plus. Still could use more. The other one has a cobalt internal 1000 w/UV and. Fluval 406 canister.

I'm not sure. It looks like that aquarium comes with a built in LED light under the hood. If you are buying this tank new, you probably don't need another light. If that light is broken, you could buy this light and attach it to the bottom of the top cover. This has two problems, (1) you have to attach it somehow, and (2) the light will be in a high humidity environment right over the water; I'm not sure if it is rated to survive that. My lights sit on top of a clear cover.

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

We bought the M size for a 75 gallon tank, currently use it on a 40 gallon tank with a red eared slider turtle and plan to use it when we move him to the 75 gallon tank. No skimmer needed

I have mine on my aqueon 55 gallon. It works great so for me so far. Just make sure you get the 48-60 that way it lights your tank from end to end.
