Choosing between sizes
This fixture spans 15–24 in; Fluval Plant 4.0 32W spans 23–35 in. The two sizes don’t fit the same tanks, so choose by your tank’s length, not by the family name.
Plant 4.0 32W: details and fit →Before choosing this model
- Match fixture span and tank depth.
- Compare published depth-specific PAR with plant demand.
