10 gallon reef lighting???

[AquaJunkie]

Currently have a 36w t5 ho lamp over my ten gallon tank.

Will this be enough for coral?

Also bulbs not been changed in over a year.
Do I need to change them? And if so, why?

If this is not ok for coral such as zoas/mushrooms, what lighting do you recommend for a 10 gallon?

Plenty of light for sure and yes you should change out the lamps.

Could I make my own led using a par 38 bulb and lamp holder?

 

[NanaReefer]

Sure! Not sure about the spread on those though. Isn't it like 12"x12"?

That light should be good for a ten gallon tank.

Did you read where he can't send out the clamps til September? Also it does not have dimming capability.
I think if you put an ad in the WTB forum you could do better.

Reason I say this is I just sold a brand new Orphek Pr-25 dimmable Par38 for $100 shipped
