I have glow in the dark pebbles. Black lights never seemed to do much to them. I think the Light has a hard time penetrating through the water. But that's just a guess. Go buy yourself a black light poster. Then if the pebbles don't work out you've got yourself something sweet

I use a 40 watt bulb, and it casts a nice warm glow. I have to warn you that I bought one for myself and one sent to a friend. Both lamps were very poorly packaged and cheaply made. I sent mine back for a replacement, and even the replacement was a bit damaged. I kept it; it's a good enough lamp for the price, but know that you may have to re-thread the lampshade or iron out some dents. That said, I've had the lamp for a while and it has performed well and if I turn the dented side to the wall, it looks pretty nice too.

A simple answer; Yes. You must understand that I am using two of these lamps on a refugium chamber equivalent to about a 15 gallon tank. The animals in that chamber sure look happy. Note again that I am using two of these lamps at a time, one wont quite do it.

You purchase neon Tetra's from your local pet store for the glow effect. I have to be honest I was not very impressed with this tank - its very dark and only worth having if you like a very dim fish tank for use only at night. I ended up giving mine to a friend - I bought the tank that did not have the "glow" effect, just a regular light - then you can get whatever find of fish you want! Hope that helps.

McKAy105, Did you buy this? I am shopping for LED lighting for my 30" deep 150g tank, and would love feedback or other recommendations! Thanks!

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.

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.

I don't understand the question. Will this light a fluval spec tank? I need to know the size.

The daylight bulb is 10kk the night one I don't recall, I can tell you I had this on a 90 gallon aquarium and it lit the tank very well for my needs, I would hesitate to use this if you have live plants in your aquarium though.

it may be a little too strong for freshwater plants or a little bit of overkill. But it is a great light. I use my 16" on a 29 gallon biocube. With all kinds of coral. And it's only at 60% a few hours a day. Very nice light. You may want to ask Hobbie Bug this question.

Ahhh... I'm not sure since my aquarium is quite small (20 gallons), that's why it's worked well for me. I imagine for that size of aquarium you would require a lot of these LED light in order to fulfill your light needs for that size tank. But that also depends on the dimensions of your tank. If it's not that deep (24 inches in height or less), then these lights will do well. But I suggest you research other LED lights before buying this, and you get others opinions. Hope this helps.

I would say no. Maybe when it is dark out. It just is not very bright. Best for accent lighting in an indoor tank

Yes this light is good for this situation however if you have corals you will need to go to a different light. Its only a 48 watt light so i would at least go double watts to 96watts. This light would be adequate for Fish Only or FISH ONLY WITH LIVE ROCK.

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!

It would depend on the type of terrarium you want to create. I do not think the light provided is strong enough for plants or reptiles.

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.

Dena...this led light is sufficient for a ten gallon tank used for planted aquariums...so if you are using this for a 29 gallon sump then it wouldn't be bright enough for cirals or plants...However, 12 gallon refugium should be fine but I would recommend two units for ultra bright...please let me know if you have any questions
