I'm looking for a lighted cover for my 10 x 20 aquarium for my hermit crabs. Would this be a good option?

I think it would be a little large. If you can find one that is smaller, it would probably work nicely. I have it over a saltwater tank and it collects lot of salt because it is so close to the water. Just keep in mind that the plastic tabs that hold the light into place are easy to break. The front tab broke on mine when I first snapped it into place.

NO, the hood is of good quality but the switch that turns the led lights off and on is poorly made and breaks after a few months.. the lights are far to bright for fish..had to cover mine up with blue painters tape and only leave a few on...

Do hermit crabs require heat? If so this does not put any heat out and is very bright.

Might be a little big for a 2g tank and powerful, id suggest a robot led lamp or something smaller as this is a 24w lamp and quite powerful to penetrate deep water.

Yes it will be ok for it, i have one on my squared 120 gallon tank and looks very good. There are no dark areas in it.

This is what I have for my 5 gallon. The light burned out so I bought another. This one has lasted for quite some time.

I have this light for my indoor aquaponics system. You can see some pics of my system on my blog at www.whatisaquaponics.co but I have it close to my plants so it covers less than 2sq ft. Great light though.

I have a 60 inch 110 gallona q and have one on mine. It gives off bright light....my tank does not have live plants... So may want to be sure this is the right light for live plants.

I have this fixture for my beardie, and I use a compact fluorescent UVB bulb by Zoo Med, and it fits perfectly! Here's the link for the bulb: Reptisun 10.0 Uvb Mini Compact Fluorescent

Should be a clean bright light same as cool fluorescent bulb, not like a warm light. There can be a slight violet tint depending on contents of aquarium

For a hermit crab, no matter the size, you'll need at least a ten gallon aquarium. This terrarium will be much too small.

This light is for a Marine (Saltwater) setup. TrueLumen makes a freshwater LED light also, just check out their website for the details!

i use it sitting on a glass top. my tank is a 20 long so it is hard to open the cover with the light sitting on it. light itself is great.

I'm using my Reptisun bulb in an aquarium hood. Just make sure you're ordering the correct size and wattage.

Don't go with the plant+... that's for planted tanks... makes the fish look a little worse... and doesn't give the corals the type of light they need. If your corals are low-light tolerant (mushroom anemones, etc.) or don't require any light whatsoever (such as sun polyps or gorgonians) you'll be fine. The light is so bright (for its size) you MIGHT even get away with large-poly stony corals and any other softies. If, however, your corals require relatively high amounts of light, this light might not be sufficient. Or you might need to put two of them in tandem.

i presume it depends on the size lamp you purchase. i have the 10 gallon size on my 30 gallon tank and it works wonderfully. from what i read you had 2 on yours. if so i would purchase 2 of the 10 gallon sizes ones. that is this one here. my fish love the lighting and are thriving under it. if 1 is good for my tank, 2 should be efficient for yours. i hope this helps you with your choice.

It should work great in a tank that small. The Uv light keeps the water clear as a bell. It must be what they use in the stores and in the big show tanks.

For a tank that shallow, personally I'd probably go with the fuge ray just because everything will LOOK so much better under that light (including the fish, if any)... There's still lots of light, and with CO2, I can't imagine you having a problem. But if you're willing to go with an 'amazon sun' look... kinda pink, but the plants grow lush... then the planted plus is your ticket.
