Help wih lighting for a 10 gallon!

[SJojo3377]

Hey all!!

So the lighting on our 10 gallon is NOT cutting it. We have to get something else.:frustrat: We are currently using Marineland single bright lights cause of the cost. But, we have 2 zoas in there and they are not looking so hot. Also the coraline algae is not coming along so nicely...What is a cheap but good fixture that we could buy for our 10 gallon? We would love to stick with LED's but if we have to do a t5 fixture I guess we have to. We are just trying to keep costs down that is all.

Thanks 4 all of your help and input!

This is the one I'm planning on getting for my 10 gallon. Not that expensive for what your getting in my opinion. I hope it helps :)

A 4-bulb T5 fixture would be fine. :)

So an Odessa 20" 72W (4x 18W) T5 Light Fixture Extendable Series would be our best bet? It looks great! The price and free shipping is def up our alley 2! Would our power bill go up terribly if we go the T5 way instead of the LED way? We have been using our "day" lighting for 10-12 hrs and our "night" lighting for 10-12 hrs. Thanks for everyone's help! :-)
