For your shrooms, yes. For your Kenya...well, you always say your Kenyas grow like weeds, so it's worth a shot to test it! I don't know if you're going to get very far with the Palys or the Bubble coral, though.

LOL....well so far the bubble and everything is doing great with the standard hood that comes with a 10G, and these...I have 2 of the 50/50 ones...I was just thinking of upgrading.....I'm not gonna buy a light that "MAY" work.....only one that will DEFINITELY be better....LOL.....you never know....I might want to do some frags in there too

Meow, if you can wait a little bit, I am planning a DIY over my 10g tank for my zoa garden. Once my tax return comes in, I will be getting all I need to make it. Obviously I will be posting pic in a build thread so you can follow along. IIRC your hubby is handy and could probably do the same for you.

2 on a 10G...that's a little much me thinks....LOL.....I'll probably just leave it the way it is unless I find a cheapo used light
My 54G is a corner bow (I HATE IT) I have a dual satellite on it....would LOVE better lights for that
BUT I WANT MY MP10 FIRST
