i have a 18g tall tank (which is same as 10 gall just about 6-7 inchs taller )
i bought thetank cause i had never seen one before and it would replace my 10g perfectly however i have now run into a lighting problem since the hood i got only has 1 15w bulb and ive looked lots of places and cant find any hoods that would fit my tank with the proper wattage the one i found was a power compact and had way to much lwattage (would have been around 6wpg ) so ive decided to build my own hood but after planning i found out that 3 lights would take up most of the space i have up top and i cant find any shoplights i can rig to work that is the same size does anyone have any links to a 10g hood or any ideas that would work
I also have no clue on what to do about wiring flourescents (ballast and such ) and would like to find a link on that as well any help would be great thanks
 
the 36 and 55 are to long though id have to go with the 13s and when you get about 4 in ther im probably already out of space :( this is my problem however thats a great site and i am currently going over it all to see how much space 4 13s would take
 
sorry i was just reading the 55 w ones the 2 36s will work great thanks alot for the help anyone have any experience ordering from this site ?
 
You said your tank was the width of a 10 Gallon which is: 20 1/4" The 36 W is 17.25"

Th 55W is 22" which is slightly long but could be integrated into a custom hood.

Edit: sorry didn't read the second post. Actually, I was recommended to them by a bunch of people at plantgeek.net and plantedtank.net who had ordered from them before with sucess.
