Is this to much light for a 10 gallon Aquarium?

I believe it would look fine in a ten gallon tank. I have mine in a seven gallon tank. Initially I installed it along the back wall in a straight line, basically to observe it for a few days. The LEDS can be quite bright if you look at them directly with nothing to defuse the light. I then moved it to the bottom of the back wall and placed artificial plants and 4" castles near and over the lights. My tank now looks magical at night. I placed the small castles directly over a LED light. The plants defuse the light and the bubbles are tiny sparkles floating up through the leaves. I had to drill small holes in the tops of the castles to allow the bubbles to escape. In the day time the castles have a barely noticeable blue glow and wonderful bluish smoke bubbles rising out of the chimney. At night the castles become magically inner lit with a blue glow and the bubbles from the chimney create an intriguing blue "smoke" stream reaching towards the sky. My fish, mollies, tetras, and fancy guppies, appear to like it also. I never noticed them going in and out of the castles before I lit them up. Now they travel in and out of the castles all the time.

It isn't really designed to light up an aquarium, it is only to increase aesthetic appeal by creating pretty blue bubbles. It wont be too big for your aquarium, it would probably look fantastic.

It would probably make your tank rather blue. I have it in a 20 gallon tank and it is brighter then the blue leds in the hood I have.

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.

It would be more than sufficient for your situation. You'll need to be cautious to acclimate your corals to the LEDs. Start out with them very dim, and work up over a period of a couple months. I'd also suggest getting your hands on a Par meter (maybe from a local reeding club). Then you'd have statistical data as to how much light you're getting with each setting in various parts of your tank...

Not sure on a 10g but I have it on a 5 gal pico tank and it makes my corals pop. Also coral growth is fine. I actually had to raise my up a little bit more than I wanted but still a good light.

Im running it on 75Gal (21" deep) I get low light at the substrate at best. I've said before to get medium light I would need 4 of these on my tank.

The 10 watt is too much for your tank. I had mine in a 3 gal and it was too warm.

It's a really good light as long as your aquarium is not more than say 8 inch bigger longer than the light, does a good job, blue only is not very bright, I just use white @ blue together, I have a 72 inch on my 180 works good, go for it.

This item is very bright. I have a 55 gallon tank and it's just right for my tank. This would be way too much for your tank. You would end up with more alge.

Yes, it should bright enough to light up the tank. Two things I have noticed since I have used them for a while, 1. fish can jump out of tank and 2. evaporation is higher than a sealed unit. I refill my water supply about every 2-3 days.

I'd personally get a smaller one. This article says 100watts is too much for a 10 gallon tank. Here's the reference article - http://www.thatpetplace.com/fish-tank-heaters-article

It depends on the dimensions of the tank. If you have a 4 foot tank, one light will not be enough. I have 3 of these over my 6 foot, 225 gallon tank and all of my corals seem to be doing well over the last 2 months. I have a couple Favia that don't seem to like it. But I have other LPS and SPS that are showing growth.

Depends on the size of the tank, and how it's positioned. I'd say it would be a poor aquarium light though. It's more cosmetic lighting than anything.

It's a lot of light for that system. That tank is fairly shallow so it will be intense

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.

I have a real REEF light on my 125 gallon and that light is extremely bright. Where this light would be best on a fish only or in my case a fish only with live rock.

Depending on how high you mount the light above the aquarium and how intense you want the light to be can determine how much coverage you need. If you aren't growing corals that need a ton of light, 1 light would do probably mounted 10 to 12 inches above the aquarium I would guess.

Probably not. Plants need good light and this is not the one. Don't know of any that are better, these small tanks are probably better with artificial plants.

Really depends on what you consider too bright. But compared to many other aquarium lights, this light should be on the lower brightness level.
