I am planning to buy LED lights for 10g tank. i am not going to have live plants in the tank!!

I wanted to know how many led bulbs light will be sufficient!! i have seen a 8 bulbs dome will it be fine or do i need 16, 20 or 30?

Also would want to know how many watt heater should be bought!! i live in india - mumbai and its pretty hot nowadays.

Thanks for ur help.

A 50 watt heater should do well for a 10 gallon tank. It's hard to say how many led lights without seeing how much light each puts out and knowing what type of fish are going in the tank. Also, will it receive any sunlight or room lighting?

This is exactly right. The general rule of x watts per gallon is based on florescent tubes which have been around long enough that their efficiency is about the same from bulb to bulb. LEDs on the other hand vary drastically from one to the next. A good way to get an estimate of how many you will need it to compare the lumen output of one LED to that of the lumen output of a florescent bulb. Then get enough LEDs to add up to the lumen output of the amount of florescent bulb that you would need. Hope that makes sense. Ask if it doesn't.

Priced cheap and excellent products. I just bought led moonlights for my 55 gallon and it looks awesome....

If they dont have something already made that your looking for, send them an email and they will make whatever you want customized. Still for a cheap price.

They have really quick shipping, my stuff got here in 3 business days.

sameerjoshi99 - Are you talking about moonlighting or general lighting?

Yep,where RiffDawg15 said.

I got my moonlight from there. I ordered it over the X-mas rush so mine took 2 weeks to get here but there where nice and there prices are the cheapest I have found.
They also have a Ebay store if you want to do it that way.
