can this light be used for reef tanks

Wouldn't recommend it if you wanna keep more than fish. For the price okay light but i use mine on my refugium. Leds no strong enough to get good coral growth.

It would be ok for just fish, but if you are doing corals and inverts, you will want a reef specific lighting. If I were you, I would find a forum or group that has experience with reef tanks and ask there. As I understand it, intensity and spectrum are very important.

sorry, don't know....I bought this as a gift for my grandson...he has a tropical fresh water tank!

If you have a nano fish-only then this would work fine, but nowhere near enough light output for corals. (maybe some softies?) I am using one, but as a light over my sump/refugium on my saltwater tank.

It's the right wave length but probably not bright enough for hard corals. It grows macroalgae, and coralline algae in my refugium so it would probably work in a small 5 or 10 gallon tank for soft corals and mushrooms, and even then you might want two

For the corals I have (soft corals, mushrooms and LPS corals) it has worked great, they love it. Not recommended for SMS you would need lights with more watts. I hope this helps.

Should work fine as long as it is a fresh water tank. It doesn't say in the details but it also needs a lid to your tank to keep and moisture off the light

I believe it will. I use it on my salt water tank and it makes my corals glow.

I imagine that it could work W/ your Coral & others ..I don't know about a rimless tank..I have A 27 gallons Cardiff Tank in which it can be used a a rimless tank ..but I also purchased a rim & a glass top to protect my lighting..Salt tends to eat & damage...but my suggestion is call Current...Good Luck! I Love My LED Lighting!!!!

I use this for my salt water tank and it gives plenty of bright light. Might need to research more if you are going to do plants but for fish and many types of salt water corals it is great.

This is not a good light for a tank with plants. This led and it does not produce the conditions that plants need

I don't know but It wasn't enough to light up my tank adequately. I have a 150 gallon aquarium and bought 3 of these and had to buy an extra 3 lights to add to each base. I imagine if the tank you're trying to light Is small enough it'll be ok.

It will work well, thier are 2 settings Program 1 Program 2 with sunrise and sunset settings. Settings for time program. I use mine for a planted thereioum and works good on hi intensity for my moss and plants. You need to measure the hight from top of tank to reef rock to make sure you have the right amount of light. The kit has a chart onhow too, and best lighting settings depending on your requirements. Make sure you size it righr. You can also set moon light. The remote is cool to.

Yes. It will do a great job. My 100 gal Mixed stony reef is flourishing under 2 units. They are dimmed down slightly at 14k.

No, actually the blue spectrum is great for coral growth. It should be around the 450nm range for the blues which corals use. The only issue might be having note enough light for a ten gallon, as far as wattage. I would consider another unit if possible. It might be ok for softies, or possibly lps coral. I used mine on a small 12x12x12 cube. Hope that helps!

Yea you can but start by hanging it high and the lowest possible setting on the led Brightness then as the weeks go by lower the lights then adjust the brightness slowly to make sure you don't bleach your corals

For your information this light work for anemones,hard corals,soft corals and clams.

I have this light on my 120 gal fresh water planted tank. It's the best light I've ever owned for for this tank. I've been using it about four months really keeps algae to a minimum the plants love it. So I'm not ignoring the question I mention all that because a reef light really is different, using a reef light on a fresh water tank burns the edges of the plants and can get some real algae blooms going. This is not the same as the reef light.

I do not think it would be. I have freshwater tanks - it works fine for those. Most saltwater tanks I see have even brighter lights than this.

I would say yes... I have it on my 75 gallon tank and it is brite in every corner. love the light :)

I would say yes if your tank is not longer than the length of the light. The light has "feet" that can slide in and out to adjust for your tanks width and hold the light above the tanks top. I am very happy with my light.
