will this put off enough light to grow corals in a 10 gallon saltwater tank

We don't think so. We use it in the refugium which doesn't have any corals.

For small corals yes it will... But I would get brighter so u wouldn't have to uograde in the future

This is a light spectrum suitable to freshwater plants. It would not be able to support a saltwater environment.

I have it on my 5 gallon and it is bright enough for a 10 gallon tank. However, I'm not seeing any better growth for my dwarf hairgrass than when I was using a temporary 12 watt CFL 50/50. Very sleek design though.

No you will need 2 lights, to light up the entire tank for corals to thrive.

I have mine on a 90 gallon salt water tank and it pumps out more than enough light

I doubt it. Personally I thought it would be brighter. I have stopped using it. I was using it to try and grow algae in a two gallon refugium connected to a salt water aquarium.

I have the same size tank, and do not have dark ends. The light distribution is not even, of course, so you will have to plan where to place corals accordingly.

Low like, easy corals. You should look at getting the 48-60" version or finding another light that uses true 5w leds.

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 have a 30 inch deep tank and the light coverage is fine for softies and Lps corals but the spa corals need to be up close to the fixture.

It would be a very nice light for a 10 gallon. I have 2 of them on my 125g.

I have only one light on my 72 gallon bowfront (48" long, 24" deep) and it looks great; however, the far sides are not brightly lit. My corals are doing very well but I have softies, zoas, mushrooms etc. Two lights would be ideal and I would imagine a necessity for sps corals, clams etc.

Unlikely, unless you plan on keeping plants that thrive in low light. This light is primarily for fish only tanks, and you'll need two side by side to obtain sufficient light.

I have 36" wide 75 gallon tank and I have one of these up. Had it about 2 months my corals are doing ok so far. I have mostly soft corals and a few lps corals. I've noticed my soft corals have lost some color right under the light so its a little stronger than my 150w metal halide. Any wider and I would suggest 2 of these though as the light drops off pretty fast on the edges of my tank, but my soft corals are ok with that

The light is awesome for lps and sps corals. It should be good for an anemone too but it depends on what the anemone likes.

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.

I wish I could remember. All I do remember is I put the light on for one day, then packed it up and returned it.It was simply too bright. Great for growing plants because the light easily reached the bottom of the tank. I don't believe this model was for reefs, just fresh water plants.
