I'm thinking about getting [link=this light]http://www.thatpetplace.com/Products/KW/Mini%2cClamp%2cLamp%2cFixture/Class//T1/F52+0047+0817/EDP/34781/Itemdy00.aspx" style="COLOR: #993333[/link] to put on a 5.5g glass tank. It's set up as a grow out tank for guppy fry and has no plants.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this light or anything similar.

Thanks

Theresa,

I am considering getting a small light for my tanks as well, although only for the purpose of having some light while doing some maintenance work.

I am still hesitant because I worry that the socked might not be screwed tightly (without breaking the glass though) enough onto the tank and would fall in (I worry a lot, that’s just in my nature).

If you have a glass top then the lamp would have to go in the back (given there is a plastic strip as it is the only place where you could screw it on.

If the lamp should only be there while a top is on the tank then I would not worry about it falling in. It seems to be fine otherwise.

Hope this helps,

Ingo

Couldn't you just use a desk lamp? Might be safer

My house gets enough light- I just placed the fry tanks where they get light- but not direct light. You do not need a lot of light unless you have plants- Did you want to add plants?
