I want to put this in a very small pond outside...only about 25 gal (round). Will this provide enough light?

It's perfect for an aquarium but a pond is a little to much. Mine is in a 40 gallon aquarium.

I think maybe 2 or 3 of these would work for a pond that size. It is fairly bright for it's size, but it's very very small.

I would say no. Maybe when it is dark out. It just is not very bright. Best for accent lighting in an indoor tank

I had this light in a 14 gallon tank - it only gave a small, decorative amount of light. But it did look very nice. It is held down by a suction cup, so not sure that would work in a pond. Hope this helps a little. Good luck! :-)

I would not use it I have a 55 gallon and it only light like a mall corner its not bright enough. I would use a long strip instead....

Yes this light is good for this situation however if you have corals you will need to go to a different light. Its only a 48 watt light so i would at least go double watts to 96watts. This light would be adequate for Fish Only or FISH ONLY WITH LIVE ROCK.

According to the diagram on the box, the manufacturer suggests a 250w unit for a pond up to 1,000 gallons. Anything over 1,000 gallons they suggest 750w.

It would be a very nice light for a 10 gallon. I have 2 of them on my 125g.

It should sufficiently light a 10 gallon tank. However keep in mind it is just an led bar there is no mount to hold it in place.

I do not think it would be. I have freshwater tanks - it works fine for those. Most saltwater tanks I see have even brighter lights than this.

No. You would need significantly more light. I would suggest (2) 4-foot bulbs at the very minimum...

Hello. I would say yes. I have one of these lighting the back corner of a 90 gallon corner tank. The plants there are now growing well. I will say the plants are a bit on the pale side compared to plants under the t5 fluorescents...but they are growing well.

Should be. I originally had my light on a 30 gallon and it was chock full of plants that had no trouble growing under it.

Not enough. Its not the lumens you have to be concerned with but the fall off for distance. These produce very nice light but they are better for fill in on bottoms and middle of plants. Only hps and ml gives real source light. Sure, you could string up 20-30 in a small space, but at that point, your not saving any wattage and your bulb replacement cost is prohibitive. They last about 2-4 months. Check out some of the setups on utube. Good luck Bonnie.

Im running it on 75Gal (21" deep) I get low light at the substrate at best. I've said before to get medium light I would need 4 of these on my tank.

My pond is just a little under 100 gal. it works perfectly. So the answer is no.

NO! Its a very low, diffuse light mads for" "mood" lighting a small area. Not an entire pool. Its 10W max.

It would depend on the deminsions. If by corner you mean its more of s square shape than rectangle, I would think it would be fine. Mine lights the entire length of my 40 gallon breeder reef tank just fine. It is very bright so I wouldn't worry too much about the depth.

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

Plenty of light for that depth. I would say enough for medium plants. You could probably also do the ray2 if looking for more alternatives.
