It would be a very nice light for a 10 gallon. I have 2 of them on my 125g.

I am using one with a 6 gallon tank and it works fine. Mounting to tank is biggest issue as bracket is narrow.

I used for 16 gallon support light because my main was old white long bulb. It's good support and bright. If you use 2nd light, it's good but weak for main light.

Its enough to light up a 10 gallon but not enough light if you have live plants

The light works great but I had to modify the way I mounted the light to the tank. If you look at the photos of the light, note how narrow the mounting bracket opening is. I either had to cut the moulding around my tank to accomodate the bracket or use a different method. A good quality double sided tape works well in securing the light to the tank. If you a are going to use this light with a timer, be aware that it does not come back on the way you set it. I have to touch ( 3 settings, blue, blue&white;, white only) to get the lighting back to the way I left it.

Unfortunately not, I ordered it for that reason too but the lip of a 10g tank is too thick for this product. Nice light though

I think so. The neck is def long enough to reach front of tank. But. The cone of light may not be wide enough at night.

It's meant for a smaller tank. I found it made the water too warm and since you can not adjust it, I just took it out. I would try it for a ten gallon but keep an eye on the temp.

I would SO use this for a 10 Gallon, the extra filtration is never a bad thing, and allows for the future upgrade of aquarium size. Often people overstock a 10 gallon and this size would keep up with the extra waste.. It doesn't make it OK to overstock though. I Purchased an aquarium kit (25G High) and this was included, I will put this on my 10 and transfer my Fluval C3 to the 25. My filter measures about 7''. Soooo, long story short I would recommend you trim your hood. Just cut it up, don't sweat it..

I use 5 gallon jugs and that works fine....probably it would work for 10 too...

I have mine in a 75 gallon and it takes up a lot of corner space. I think for a 10 gallon it would be to big and to powerful.

It should work for a 10 gallon tank. It willcover the length Of the tank . A ten Gallon Tank is 20 Inches long

YES with modification and depends on the size of your tank this works great on a 10 gallon but would over have a few inches the bulbs are only 24 inch long anyway i use it on my 10 gallon nano coral tank works perfect

No, another ten gallon will not fit in the bottom area, its not long enough.

It should fit, since it is just undersized for a rated 10 gallon size (mine) It will be smaller than the bottom of your tank, but you can fill around it with gravel. I would check with The Drs Foster and Smith site DrsfosterSmith.com/Fish, or call them at 800-443-1160. They may have better solution for you.

In my opinion, a 10 g wouldn't require this sort of thing unless you'd like to create a population of copepods or to raise macroalgae to help reduce nitrates/phosphates. It doesn't provide much "flow", whatsoever. It merely drips into your display tank.

i hav a 5 gal tank, but for a 20 gal i would say no ..u need a more powerful heater..but ok for a 10 gal.

I wouldn't use anything larger than a 10 gallon tank (standard size for a BBQ). I use a 5 gallon and it works fine...I still have more than half a tank left from the summer and I use the stove in my summer kitchen for things like canning and cooking so our house stays cooler.

Yes. It may take up some space but it will fit. It is good to use a filter bigger than your tank size (ex: 15 gallon filter for a 10 gallon tank) if you have some thing in the tank that produces waste such as a turtle or fish.

Yes it will work. I use it on multiple 10 gallon tanks when i acquire new fish to minimize disease exposure.

Not sure. I used it in a 30 gallon tank and it was fine. A word of caution.....after about 3 or 4 months all of the LED lights were burned out. I ended up taking the lights out and am now using it as just a bubble wand.

55 gallons to 90 gallons. It is not suitable for a 10 gallon tank (as one reviewer mentioned). The heater is too long to fit in smaller tanks, and has far more wattage than needed for anything less than a 55 gallon.
