[AquaticLife] 10 Gallon Hood/Light
Does it have space for a single fluorescent tube or for two incandescent tubular bulbs? I’ve seen both types of 10G tank lids.
Compact Fluorescent would be the way to go if you have the kind with two incandescent screw in sockets, so you could have two 15W http://www.builderdepot.com/browse.ihtml?pid=341115&step=5&prodstoreid=4340 or even two 25W bulbs http://www.hardwareandtools.com/invt/6096697 if you want some major lighting. If you have the single fluorescent tube type, then I think you only have one option for an 18″ 15W bulb, although I’ve seen online ads for an Eclipse hood that has two 18″ bulbs but that hood would also have the built in Eclipse bio-wheel filter, etc.
If you want more lighting, go with a DIY plexiglass cover, cut to fit inside the rim of the 10G tank. Then you can find an 18″ light fixture that will hold multiple bulbs… probably only two would be needed… which would then give you the 3WPG. Or you could go with two single bulb fixtures like http://www.amazon.com/Lights-America-7000-Fluorescent-Counter/dp/B00002N5H5
