Do you get good full-tank light coverage front to back with just the 1 strip?

Any chance you might be able to post another pic from the front?

I'm trying to decide between 1 36 and 2 staggered...

For anyone who has just one of these suspended over the middle of your tanks, would you mind sharing whether you have a good spread of light front to back (at all aquarium heights)? It seems like...

How are you enjoying your light so far? I'm also curious as to how you chose the 36 inch over the 24 inch.

Thanks!

Thank you to everyone for the tips. I just found out that I have to move (landlord is selling), which means the tank will be torn down and set up in a different location, so I will probably be able...

If there are 5 LEDs per row spaced four inches apart, then the three rows would be centered over the middle 20 inches of a 30 inch tank. With 40 degree optics, wouldn't that mean the ends of the tank...

Ok, so here are some images of the basic setup, and then 3 different options for light layout. I have pretty much ruled out option 3, but I'm undecided between options 1 and 2. It seems like...

I am in the planning stages of building an LED fixture for a 20 L tank (30x12x12) that is planted very heavily. While I do have a soldering kit, I was quite intrigued by the 12 Solderless LED...

I'm curious about this as well given my limited clearance above the tank. Are there LEDs without lenses that can just rest on the glass but still get light to all stems at the surface of the water...

Thanks. This is for resting on the glass cover of a 20L so that may be a bit intense, unless it was dimmed way down. I'm not sure how resting on top of the tank would influence the angle of the...

Thanks for the responses. The tank is in a very small area, so the lights would be resting on the glass cover of the tank like they are now. It seems some fixtures emit at wavelengths that are better...

Is he hiding near the filter outflow, or in an isolated corner? If the shrimp is by the outflow, he is probably very happy and full right now.
