Someone else can confirm. That's what I'd expect. As an example, the slides on my light (non ACO) are roughly 3 inches long. Conservatively you're looking at 2.5-3 per side. So safely a 20" light should work for a 20" as well as a 24" tank. Edited January 6, 2023 by nabokovfan87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! That confirms that the 24" light will fit my 29 gallon tank. Don't forget to update the FAQ lighting guide. The Co-op light isn't in there yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedrock Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Aquarium coop just a customer and aquarist who consumes social media. Possible forecasts for the coop in the first quarter of sales focused specially on “the lights”. This is purely for entertainment and discussion. 1. The coop’s careful and well developed product has arrived after years of discussions on media platforms. All the fans and members (myself included) will buy them initially if they can or have a need they have been holding back on. Big rush on sales Black Thursday and Black Friday in January! Added bonus was all the add on products like heaters etc. to the orders. 2. Many “Aquarium influencers” big and small on social media will review the light. Mostly positive reviews and of course we will hear it’s not the Plant 3.0 (it wasn’t designed to be) but at the end of every review for the serious plant or fish keeper they love it. Everyone loves a winner. Possible requests for the coop to do internet interviews everywhere. They will politely respond but not inflame. 3. Huge reviews run into the coop website. Word of mouth drives sales. When is the last time you heard a company send out a text to members about the release of a product and a community send out texts to fish groups -privately even on a moderate scale. Facebook post and pictures of their new lights 3 to 4 days after launch. (Spreading the news further). 4. Sales stabilize but remain high for product in very short term. 5. Partner stores order lights more buzz and sales 6. Coop has already begun discussions about adjustments for 3 and 4 manufacturing orders/runs to deal with supply issues long term. Also considering possible tweaks based on feedback from customers. Also considering long term manufacturing run projections. 7. Light supplies become low faster than really anticipated (double edged sword). Customers service and Cory have prepare for complaints. Sold out till April when next shipment (maybe) arrives. second quarter and further projections 8. Coop brand light becomes industry standard for planted light in price range (100 to 300) once supply change issues are addressed. 9. Fluval sales of plant 3.0 light will fall significantly forcing them if they are smart to develop a product to compete directly with coop light or they will lower the price on their plant light 3.0. Investment of capital into marketing of new light would be significant lowering any significant profits. 10. Other manufacturers will play copy cat but not have a brand to hang/drive sales. Nor commitment to customer service. 11. Coop has long term expansion implications to plan for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The years of build up just crested the wave right down on them. I can just see the post office staff saying. . .

Tanked Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 My light will arrive in a day or three. As this will be my first non-DIY light, maybe the I'll finally mange to balance the planted community tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainsponge Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Just got mine today and all I can say is wow. First impressions, this thing is an absolute unit. Built like a tank. I'm very impressed with the quality. Fit and finish are great. Nice and tight throughout. Great job on it. Hopefully it will end up making me look like a master horticulturist. I'm going to see how well it does(my guess is pretty well) then I have three other, bigger tanks that will need them as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! Just unboxed my 48inch. The box held up well despite the tape on the outside falling off. Got it turned on your right, solid indeed! I have 3 other various sizes all coming separately but I have no doubt those will be fine too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjum Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Went to the co-op today & picked up a 30" light for my 29g! This is only on the 2nd setting & it's about as much light as the 24" finnex stingray was putting out. I haven't turned it all the way up yet only because I just put a new fish in there & I'm letting him get accustomed. But I'm really excited to take this planted tank to the next level! Over time I'll thin out & cut back the water wisteria & pogostemon that's dominating & get some different things growing. Just picked up a red flame sword, so that'll be the 1st to benefit from the new light. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using it for my plant grow out tank to try it out and it's still the most expensive light that I have. I'm already trying to justify one for my 20g. And 45, and 75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall from Texas Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Just got mine. It's truly impressive stacked against the fluval 3 I have. Great job coop team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFishNoBrakes Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Love to see everyone getting their lights and all your tanks! My cheap lights have held strong and grow everything I want them to, but as they die out I will definitely be replacing them with Coop lights. Can’t wait to see how everyone continues to help each other achieve success! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I got mine in the mail tonight. The box was a little dinged up but the lights in perfect condition. I'll have to get some pictures tomorrow, but it's miles better than the light that came with my 75. (I just got it last spring and have been holding out for the coop light to upgrade.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light arrived in just two days.👍 It will weeks before I can tell you how wonderful it is or is not. I can say that the aquarium instantly looked better. Why I bought the light: All of my lights grew plants, but some of the plants were telling me that the lighting wasn't quite right. I needed more evenly distributed light. I was about one DIY upgrade from the cost of a commercial light. It has the only features I wanted: dimmable with no timer. I removed 3 individual lights and timers from one aquarium, so I will consume about 50% less power. Maintenance would be far easier and safer.
