Anybody use these to light their tanks? Im thinkin about using it for my 30 gallon. Just not sure if 1 would cover all 36 inches of the tank.

Many of us have used them. They work fine.

Do u think that one would cover 36 inches of tank?

I have a soft coral frag tank with one 120 watt fixture. It is a 30 gallon plastic tank about 36" long. With the light hung 12" it doesn't cover the ends. I would buy two 90 watt fixtures if available, or two 120 watt dimmable if funds available, then you can dial them in as needed.

Okay thanks! I think im going to try to find 2 smaller fixtures.

If you want even coverage, that would be best, or a longer fixture. Any interest in DIY? My son just put together a Cree rail light and it just required some soldering. You could make it as long as you wanted it to be.

I was thinkin about that but it just seems a little too technical for me, and the way i priced it, it would be just as much or maybe more. Ive seen a lot of success with diy crees though!
