sunpod length question

[westonm]

Hi everyone, I have a 20 gallon finnex m-tank that I am looking to put a sunpod fixture on. My finnex m-tank measures 21" across, I know that the 20" sunpod fixtures extend their docking mounts, I was wondering if anyone knows or could measure if their 20" fixtures can mount a 21" tank?

In case someone comes across this thread looking for the same info...I heard from a separate source that the legs on a 20" when fully extended measure a full 21 1/2". I will be going ahead and ordering a 20" sunpod and will again update this thread if I find anything to the contrary.

Just email current usa, they're pretty good about getting back with answers quickly.

I measured my 20" Sunpod with legs out as far as they would go. It was 21" . You could push maybe a 1/16 to 1/8" more.

DUH...Sorry, thought you were wanting it to fit 21 1/2 inch. 20" Sunpod will fit your tank perfectly

[westonm]

Thanks for the replies everyone. It is nice to hear confirmation that it will fit my tank at 21".
I actually had e-mailed current USA a few times and must say I found the responses extremely unhelpful. I am still going with the product since it seems to be the best option, certainly at the price, but this time around I was dissapointed with their customer service and never even got a good answer in the end. thanks for everyone's help.

I got my 20" sunpod 6 weeks ago. Just discovered the bulb already burned out/defective last night when I got home. E-mailed them, haven't gotten a reply.
Had to pop for a new bulb and overnight Saturday delivery shipping from Premium Aquatics.

Sorry to hear that colinadam. I have heard mixed reviews of the bulb itself. I decided to go ahead and order a pheonix 14k right off the bat and keep the stock bulb as a back-up. Good luck with your next bulb.

That's the same bulb I ordered from PA, supposed to be a really good bulb. I heard back from Current, they are sending me a replacement bulb that will be my backup bulb but who knows when it will arrive.

Current normally doesn't do their own customer service. What I like is Drs. Foster and Smith will do their service for them if you buy there. Any problems, and the Drs take care of it.

[westonm]

That is interesting to hear they do not do their own customer service, that explains part of the poor service I received. That does not really seem like a good policy, but it must save them money I suppose. Regardless, I am really looking forward o the lights coming in and firing them up on my tank.

Of all the bulbs I've tried the Phoenix is my favorite...crisp - makes the colors pop!
