Will the 10 inch light fit on a 5 gallon aquarium with a hood?

Well, are you going to lay it on the hood? I lay mine on the cover of a 20 gallon sump. It doesn't fit exactly but it does the job. What are the measurements of your 5 gallon and how do you want it to sit? Meaning do you want to use the stands that come with it or do you want to simply lay it flat?

It measures 9 3/4 inches from end to end of the bracket don't have a 5 gal tank on hand

Are you trying to mount the light in the hood ?..we have a glass top that the light sits on its a great light and should fit fine on a five gallon tank. Vut can't say for sure if tour trying to put it in a hood

Is the 5 gallon tank bigger than 10 inches? If so Id say yes. If not then no.

I doubt 10" will stretch across the top of your 10 gallon... other than front to back... which wouldn't be very practical.

I have it on my 5 gallon and it is bright enough for a 10 gallon tank. However, I'm not seeing any better growth for my dwarf hairgrass than when I was using a temporary 12 watt CFL 50/50. Very sleek design though.

Most likely not. The 5 gals tend to be smaller. But I'd check the dimension of yours first. This one fits a standard 10 gal.

The dimensions of the hood measure 19 1/4" long and 9 3/4 inches wide. It fits perfectly on my 10 gallon tank that is 20" long and 10" wide. I hope this helps.

This light will fit any standard 10 gallon light figure. Or just measure the light u need to replace. Than you will know what will fit better but if its just the standard size than it will fit.

My tank is a 25 gallon hexagon. I think it will fit a 10, but it depends on the dimensions.

I wouldn't. I put mine in my 5 gallon Fluval Chi (minus the original light/filter) It's OK for that. But not a 10 gallon in my opinion.

the aquarium is a rectangular shape and this standard light hood is 20 inches long. It is 3.5 inches high and 4.25 inches wide. Fits 18 inch fluorescent tube (T-8)

That would depend on whether your tank has a center brace or not. The LED's on this fixture have a very long life.

From the picture and description I saw it doesn't appear that it has anywhere to fit, nor the necessity to do so with lighting options provided with this tank. The hood would be sitting up on the shell of this light system most likely. Any plastic can be cut though, and I'm sure you could rig this up to use one of these lights. I personally don't see the advantage on a setup like this however.

I bought two hoods for a standard 55 gallon aquarium. It should also work on a 20/29 high tank as well. At work so don't have specs. Nice hood but bulbs they give you are not as bright as I thought .

it depends on how tall the tank is and what wattage the bulbs you choose are. a hood will only amplify the lights. depending on the reptile (some require less ubv than others) and the size of the cage, a hood may even make it to strong.

I have the light on the bottom of a 10 gallon tank . And it is works great . It is waterproof for the six inches or so that is submerged. I hope this helps.

Zoo Med Laboratories AZMHLC15 15-Watt Highlights Incandescent Bulb, ClearThat is a 15 watt bulb that will fit this hood. I'm assuming the hood is for a 5 gallon or so tank so that would give you 3 watts per gallon. In my tank this has been plenty for my plants. Incandescent bulbs can produce some warmth, though so keep an eye on the temperature in your tank. Hope this helps.

The lamp is a fine size for pretty much any size tank but it would depend of the power of the bulb you have in it and what you are keeping in the tank. For a 10g turtle tank I would suggest a lower strength bulb maybe like 25-40w.

I use mine on a five gallon tank and think it would work equally well for 10 gallons... I would not go smaller.
