Pick the size closest to that measurement rather than rounding up; an oversized bar overhangs the tank and casts light past the glass rather than into it. If your tank falls between two sizes, the shorter one gives more even coverage across the water surface than a longer bar mounted off-centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an edge-mount, clip-on light rather than a full hood — it sits above an open-top tank on acrylic support ends, so it won't suit a tank with a fitted glass lid unless the lid has a cut-out.
