24" Nova Extreme (fit 30" long 29 gal?)

I'm considering purchasing the Nova Extreme 24" but want to be sure the legs are adjustable to fit my 30" long 29 gallon setup. Any takers?

Thanks
Joe

no. the fixture is only 24" long. the legs it uses is for the ends of the tank.

if you were to hang it, it would work, but the legs will not work on a longer tank.

i just got the same one in 36" for my wifes tank. theres no way it would fit on a bigger tank with the supplied legs

Thanks Dippin. Finding a light to fit without hanging is gonna be a pita.

np.. i wouldnt of known, if i hadnt just gotten one for my wife for christmas.

their pics dont show well, how the legs set up. but kind of think of how a hood sits on a tank. the brackets are made for the outer "ends" of the tank, versus front to back.

now you could always go with a larger light, then it would fit, the legs are adjustable the full length of the light. only thing is, that it'll have some light spill over. now it all depends on how much that would bother you, and how much longer the fixture is then the tank.
