vash028 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Starting a 10 gallon with a 10 gallon sump. Looking for lighting suggestions for my tank. I'm going to have a hood on the tank so the lights can be suspended was thinking 10" off the water. Would a 35w coral compulsion bulb work and cover the tank? I'm planning on making this a bubble tip anemone tank. So good lighting is needed and I'm trying to keep the costs down. Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 What kind of hood are you going to have on the tank Coral compulsion has 35 watt full spectrum which covers 24x24, should be plenty of light for a 10g. Ai Prime is another good option Mars Aqua Nanobox Link to comment
vash028 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just gonna be a simple hood to keep down noise and allow me to run open top. if I did the bulb how high should it be mounted? I was also thinking of a Current USA Orbit and have it just above the water in a small hood. Link to comment
Muraki Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've seen both work, but the Coral Compulsion bulb should do the trick. I run 3 of the 14w refugium bulbs in my sump. I love them. The 3 year warranty is no joke either, had 1 replaced with no questions asked after 18 months of use. I would determine the height but by the coverage on the tank. Can always adjust as needed.

vash028 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Gotcha it's currently the leader. Was also wondering there is a good affordable full spectrum light that's adjustable. Link to comment
gmanreefer Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 orbit marine light isn't bad for that size tank or Ai prime Link to comment
3s1k Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've been looking at the new Kessil a80's. They look really nice. I'm debating between that and the AI Prime HD. Link to comment
