Newbie Sunpod mounting question

Brandon M · 08/08/2008, 01:00 PM

I bought a 20" 150w Sunpod that I thought would fit on my new 26 gallon bowfront. I was wrong.

The only way it will fit is setting it front to back like this:

Sorry for the bad picture...but is this a big deal? I do plan on hanging the light, but not for 4-5 months.

It's not going to give you good coverage like that. I would trade it in and get the right one.

If I were to hang it the correct way, would that light be okay for that tank?

I don't think there is any difference in the light that would fit and the light you have on there except for length of the light casing itself. So I would say it should work just fine if you hang it.

How difficult is this Sunpod to mount?
