+1 i use a 24" hagen go. the overhang is not really a big deal, as the part that hangs over is mostly endcap and nearly no light escapes.

That will give you alot of variety in the colours of bulbs you run. i have 2 14,000K bulbs and 2 actinic and i really like the colours.

Ya, I would still put a 24" on the 10g too. I know Total Pet carries Hagen brand, and often small independant stores do as well. Try stores that carry a variety of different animals.

Default sorry!

thanks fro all the good advice, I would;ve sworn I had replied to this thread; I ended up buying the ucrrent usa model... I came in the store ready to buy the 18" model with 2x18W or whatever it is, then I found its big borther, 2x24W T5HO 10K 460nm 24" current usa nove extreme, for not even 10 bucks more!

I had to buy it; I paid 100 bucks for it... it's not listed on bigal's website... anyways, I checked after I got home and though it is not a proper individual reflector per se, it does bend around each bulb in a triangle shape, so... it's good. plus i get the freedom of 24"...

anyways, my tank loves it!
