I had one of these on my 44 gallon seahorse tank
would be great for a 10 gallon - lots of light to grow things
IMO this is a good bang for your buck
Hope this helps
(btw, if you order one, make sure that you order a bulb as well)

howdy that does seem like an interesting idea, super powerful.

Midknight, yeah i will have a bit of overhang with a 20" but no biggy
but that 96 watt light will grow soft corals well?

the bulb is 6500 K as well
good for growth
If you want to go to a higher K, you can get some overhead projector plastic sheets that are clear light blue..simple but would work
the bulbs last like 7 hours of normal use

depends on the corals..
but 96 watts should be good for most soft corals IMO
I am sure others have their own opinions

I think 96w PC in a 10G would be fine for most softies,and even some stonys.
