Question

Is This light good for a 29g?


I have a 29 bio cube with the stock light. but i was looking around and i found a 24" metal halide:

Product Specification
• Light fixture (Approx. 24“x 15“x 3“)
• Support: 1x 250W DE HQI, 2x 65W Compact Fluorescent, 4x Dual
Bluemoon LED
• Non corrosive powder coated aluminum housing
• External HQI Ballast
• Internal Compact Fluorescent Ballast
• Built-in Cooling Fan
• Tempered glass lens and acrylic lens
• Individual power cords and on/off switches

but my bio cube is 20" x 20 3/4" x 19 1/4".

Chances are you are going to have a heat issue if you use mounting legs for it. You might actually need to hang it above the tank to help with that. I think it may be too much light for some things, but it all depends on what you plan on keeping in the system.
