Full Version: is 80watts to much for a 10gall
You can never have "too much" light, you can only have an "unsafe" ammount of light 
If i were you I would get the 70 watt fishneeedit metal halide, more light for less watts.

What are "assies"? All I can think are "aussie acans"....
Watts per gallon is an outdated standard, as the metal halide fishiecj mentioned would be much more intense than the 80W power compact fluorescent of the satellite.

I still use the dual 40W satellite on my 10G and it's great. Although, you're looking at changing the lamps every 6 months or so.
