    They look great! Do you think that 1 floodlight would be enough to grow all different types of corals in a 10 gallon?

    For 10g you can go for 2 or max 4 gu10 3w bulbs 50/50, or just 1 white floodlight if its a frag tank...im also gona make a tank that will be attached to this setup and use gu10 3w bulbs, so can experiment them too....

    So you think that 2 gu10's would work for corals? Could I just use the ones that they sell on eBay?

    Tank looks really nice and bright! Do you have some PAR readings?
    Camkha- Go with 3 x 1 watt gu10's if you can't use Cree or luxeon, I've heard 3 x 3 watts might burn out faster, both aren't as good as CREE or Luxeon and cool whites aren't as good as neutral whites.

    Thanks. I think I'll just stick with the 10 watt floodlight. Great information, though . Maybe I'll try the gu10's on a future build ;)
