Im only talking about one fixture, not adding a second to fit any of the 48" tanks. Do any of those odd oceanic "designer" tanks fit a 24"? What about any bow-fronts? I know it seems like an odd request, but i have my reasons ![]() |

I use 24" lights strips on my 62 gallon too b/c I have the filter off the side instead of the back, so a 24" is what I need in order for it to fit...other than that, it'll work for tank that just have glass-tops b/c the true strip size isn't too important with those. It shouldn't fit any bowfronts that I know of but I'm sure you may one day come across a custom tank designed with a 24" surface area that's greater than 20 gal, but I wouldn't want to keep any fish in it... ![]() PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread. |

I have a 20H reef in the works. I just did some mapping and planning and it seems i have significantly more space in the room i have the 20g in for a slightly larger tank. But I just bought a 24" Coralife Aqualight for the 20 and there is no way i am getting new lighting for a larger tank. I dont have much more space though, so i cant exactly throw in a 40 long. I THINK i may have found something, OCEANIC has a tank, 37g, 24.5"x18.5"x21". I really hate tall tanks though. |

If it's a strip only, then it can fit on the glasstops of a tank that's larger than it's designed for. If it's a hood, it only fits VERY specific dimensions exactly... ![]() PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread. |

Or you could use it as a 2nd strip light on a larger tank to supplement the lighting. The Amazon Nut... |
