Best Light/Hood For 10 Gal Freshwater Tank

[Yukilovesfish]

I've been trying to research purchasing a light for my new 10 gallon tank. I will be putting riccia fluitans, some high light grasses and driftwood. Any thoughts on an really nice light for this tank? I would be willing to spend up to $200 as long as the light was worth the cash. Thanks for your suggestions!

go with ODNO and save the extra money for pressurized CO2. Check the sticky for OverDriven Normal Output lights in the DIY section. For well under 50 bucks you can have 5 watts/gallon of a combo of different spectrum lighting and grow any high light plant you could imagine.

Check out www.ahsupply.com and buy the 1x36 watt bright kit. That would be perfect for the plants your planning on growing. It also is a pretty easy route to go for a lot less that 200 bucks and for good quality lighting.
