I have a 12g eclipse tank. would this light work for like zoa's and shrooms?

No this won't work for marine tanks. Get something meant for that tank. This light only works for low light fresh water plants

This model is for fresh water you need one for salt water. This model doesn't have the right light spectrum. They make a salt water version but the par value maybe too low because it is designed for an 8 gal or 10 at max.

Yes. Check the specifications for height and the height of your light unit, also.

In my opinion it´s OK! I have some Zoa´s in my 450L tank, I have two of this light and the zoas are crowing well!

I would say yes and maybe too much light depending on coral and what size you are using. I have 1 on a 100 gallon soft coral only and it is enough.

This light is not the best for aquatic plant life. Look at the double bright instead. Do some more research.

I had mentioned in a review that I found the ballast of this bulb to be sub-standard and it began failing on me within just a few months. If you still want to give it a shot, I don't see an issue with it being mounted over a fish tank, as long as you have enough space. Check out how big a 75w equivalent CFL is at your local hardware store and see if that'll fit. These things are almost as big as a 12oz can.

The FugeRay2 may work, but Finnex makes another light that is expressly intended for your use. I currently have a Finnex Ray2 light that works very well on my 90 gallon (a bit over 25" deep) for plants on the bottom of the tank.

This light does VERY well, I have dwarf grass, moneywort, telanthera (think that is how it is spelled) among others that require high light and they thrive with this light. I say start with 1 and see how it goes, no matter how much light you have you will always want a c02 system as it really is a requirement for the plants just like food is for your fish so keep that in mind as well if you want a really gorgeous planted tank!

I can't say for sure as this is a smaller canopy than the one I use. The tube lights I buy for my canopy are:Exo Terra PT2172 Repti Glo 10.0 Bulb 25W 30in. but those would be too long for this particular canopy.Here is the specs for the Dual Top canopies from Exo Terra's site:http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/dual_top.phpand here is the site for their lighting information:http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/linear_fluorescent_bulbs.phpHope this helps, and best of luck with your terrarium!

Unlikely, unless you plan on keeping plants that thrive in low light. This light is primarily for fish only tanks, and you'll need two side by side to obtain sufficient light.

I would say yes... I have two on a 55g tank.. It's 48long...turned to about 50%. I also have a 60g cube... It's 24x24... Have one on it and one is plenty! And a 125Reef with 3.... I have the LEDS turmed up about 75% they are BRIGHT!

it may be a little too strong for freshwater plants or a little bit of overkill. But it is a great light. I use my 16" on a 29 gallon biocube. With all kinds of coral. And it's only at 60% a few hours a day. Very nice light. You may want to ask Hobbie Bug this question.

For the corals I have (soft corals, mushrooms and LPS corals) it has worked great, they love it. Not recommended for SMS you would need lights with more watts. I hope this helps.

Yes, this light and any other H2Show lights will work. There is a small "pin" on the base of the bubble maker, on the bottom of the light where the suction cup attaches...that will pull out and leave and opening for the pin on the base of the bubble maker. They work really well together, have one in a volcano in my 10 gallon and one in a skull in my BioCube29. Great looking and gives a great show, plus the fish seem to like it to.

The 12" should fit. For example, my tank is 30" and the 30" light fits perfectly. But, if your tank is deeper then about 24" I would say you would need a more powerful light.

I wouldn't know. Personally I had to measure the top of my tank which is a 50 gal tall and covered with "egg crate" grate. The lights are true to size so measure the top of your tank and go from there. Hope that helps

I am using this light with a 40 gal for my bearded dragon. He seems to be doing well, but with any light on top of the cage and not inside the levels will be diminished.
