Here's the 70 watt sunpod over my 10 gallon. No heat issues at all as the fan does a pretty good job of keeping temperatures manageable. But this should give you an idea of how it would fit width-wise.

i use that on my 10g
works great

get the 150w if you can afford it. so worth it. 70w will disappoint you in the long run.

I have a 70w Sunpod on my 10. Love it. No heat issues and everything is doing amazing. This is an SPS dominant system with some zoas and shrooms and a sinularia. I highly recommend it.

Well I ended up going with the 150w 20in I will post some pics when i get this thing up and running, I picked it up from Petmountain.com lowest price + free shipping and got 5% off with coupon code SAVE5

Got my 150W 20' sunpod up and running, I love the 14K nice white/blue color, and the moonlights are great. This thing came with about 100 mounting parts for any situation. This thing is worth more than I payed I believe. It fits perfect on top of my 15 high, petmountain.com is A+ for me I got 2-powerheads and this light.

Are the mounting legs (brackets) on this adjustable? How is it mounted onto the tank? I'm considering purchasing this for a 9 gallon cadlights tank and need to make sure it will mount on the tank before I buy it.

Thanks,
Stephanie

Yes, the legs are adjustable they slide to fit, and the legs rest over the rim of the tank, they are pretty stiff and the fixture is heavy, so you really can't knock the lights off, fits pretty secure

Thanks. That's what I needed to know.

so how do you like the 150 watt so far? what kind of tank are you running, all sps?

 

[FEEDERFISH]

I really like it, I have it over an LTA with some clowns, the 14K really make the anenome's color stand out, I am glad I went with the 150W over the 70W. I really like the quality of the fixture also!

 

[hgbarwick]

I would be worried about heat issues with a 150 watt over a 15 gallon.

 

[Kigs]

Has anyone tried the new 250w yet?

 

[FEEDERFISH]

I have all my tanks running off of one sump, and there is not that much heat coming off the fixture with the fan running, it does a good job of pulling heat from the entire fixture
