Will the 18-24" one provide enough light for a 10 Gallon with Low-Medium light plants?

I use on a 30 gallon taller tank and it is very bright, really lights up the tank very nice:)

Yes more than enough and you can add a ramp timer to it as well great product

Medium low yes, medium high no. The Java Fern, Anubias, Java Moss should all thrive under LED lighting. If you had a bunch of Amazon Swords you'd have to use the Finnex models instead. Three out of four of their models put out a lot more light, Planted+, Ray2 and Monster Ray. It's about the same light as Finnex's outdated FugeRay line.

Absolutely. I have had the light on a 10 gallon with low-medium plants for a couple months now, and they are doing great. I recommend a glass lid, too, but whatever the lid, remember that the scum which accumulates on the glass/clear plastic under the light will block a significant amount of light from reaching the plants, so don't forget to clean it off every once in a while.

I use it in a 55 gallon aquarium...although it is only as long as 1/2 it lights up the whole thing sufficiently. It is obviously dimmer at the far end but still sufficient. The intensity levels for the white and blue LEDs have 5 different settings.

yes it does; its important to keep your plants at least 18 inches away from the light and try to minimize anything being in contact with the light

If you have an all glass top you could get a 24, though it wouldn't be stable sitting there. Assuming you have an open tank, you can either get a 30, or 2 12" lights. The 2 12s would certainly be more costly, but might give you more control over the light output.

The 16" light legs may extend far enough, since you only need an inch on either side. The 20inch would or course overhang your tank but the legs could push farther in and fit on the 18". The 20" would give more light output too, I can tell you on my 10g (20"long) tank it provides more medium than low light.

Depending on you lighting and your size of plants. Minimum size area prob 5x5.. I am using an area of 9x6 and am going to expand to 10x 10.

Well, I know the 18 to 24 will be to small for that....so I would do the 24 to 36 but I'm not sure how long the light itself is.

I would rcommend their Ray 2 for a tank that deep if your are going to raise plants. I use one on a 37 gallon high with 24" depth. it is a planted tank, medium light, NO CO2 but do use Exel carbon suppliment. Works well with very little algae. I also use use a FugeRay on a 10 gallon planted that is 12" deep. Don't use chemicals on that one and use an 8 hour daylight length.Two FugeRays would probably work but a single Ray 2 would be my choice. Either way, the lights are reliable and provide me with the best planted tanks I have ever had.

Probably not, you will most likely need the LED indicated for plants, it has a different light spectrum

It is a lot of light, even for a 10 gallon tank. I would go with their 8" single strip led light bar. I have both.

This light should be more than sufficient for your purposes. It is very bright and works quite well for plants. I no longer have an aquarium, but last spring I set it up for our garden starters; the plants under this light did much better than those under an ordinary full-spectrum light. I hope this helps.

My 24 inch long is exactly 24 inch , I have a 55 gallon corner aquarium and it looks incredible, I do run 3 bulbs in it , the blue colored light for it is great and the night time light is perfect for fish , I would get 48 inch if it fits on your glass . 2 24 's would not look neat to me on top

I would imagine that you'd be ok with this light. I have one 48" fixture on my 75 and my stem plants grow 1/2" a day. Not quite as deep as yours but this light is pretty bright.

depends on your plants. It may be adequate for low light plants but definitely not good enough for medium to high light plants.

Yes, as long as you get the right length for your aquarium. It's not going to put out so much light that you need to supplement with CO2. I have low light plants growing great in my 40 gallon, 36" long tank.

I never kept it closer then 12-18 inches. A lot of people are misinformed and put high powered LEDs to close and end up bleaching out the plants . A Google search will show that around a foot is optimal ..... Your not losing light

The 16" would fit on rim of the tank. If using a glass top the 12" would work however, plants would need to be directly under the light and only lower light plants like crypts,Anubias or mosses would thrive. If wanting red plants or a variety without wondering if you have enough PAR, I'd go with the finnex planted plus. I use both on a single 10gal.

For a wide and deep tank with high light plants, you'll probably want two fixtures. One keeps medium light plants happy in a 72 bow.
