Will this work on a 10 gallon aquarium hood, meant for 25 watt incandescent bulbs?

Yes. I have switched out several tube type hoods for incandescent, and replaced the old bulbs with these. These bulbs will fit in even the very tight spaced hoods that don't have room for the small "twisty" standard CFL bulbs. The Coralife bulbs also have a much nicer color spectrum in their lights. I use the blue and white one on fish only aquariums and the pink and white one on planted aquariums.

We just used a15watt long bulb for it. Like one for an incandescent fish tank hood. Hope that helps

The hood sits on the inside edge of the tank. It will fit, it's a standard size. I ordered one for my 10 Gallon tank, the hood is not bright at all. in fact I had a hard time seeing my fish. It's somewhat bright just in the middle, that's where the LED lights are, you can just see shadows near the ends of the tank. I returned the hood, it's just not bright enough. I hope this helps your decision to purchase this hood.

Use use the bulb in a fixture designed for the top of a fish tank but my husband thinks that yes it would fit into standard fixture

You will probably have to take the hood off. My 10-gallon is a glass 1/2 moon and has a clear plastic cover so that the light shines down through it. You clamp the light to the back of the tank. There should be a screw with the clamp. You place the clamp onto the glass/acrylic of your aquarium and then gently tighten the screw so that the clamp is secure. Then slide the lamp into place. Hope that helps!

I would say yes if your tank is not longer than the length of the light. The light has "feet" that can slide in and out to adjust for your tanks width and hold the light above the tanks top. I am very happy with my light.

This units holds 22" 24 watt tubes. if you have a 30" aquarium use a hood which houses 30" tubes ( little bit extending outside the tank) other wise there will be darker areas in your tank if you use a 30" housing holding 22" tubes.

i presume it depends on the size lamp you purchase. i have the 10 gallon size on my 30 gallon tank and it works wonderfully. from what i read you had 2 on yours. if so i would purchase 2 of the 10 gallon sizes ones. that is this one here. my fish love the lighting and are thriving under it. if 1 is good for my tank, 2 should be efficient for yours. i hope this helps you with your choice.

The hood holds one 24", 20watt bulb. This bulb can be bought in many different levels of brightness. One that helps algae to grow, one that dosen't, one that works well with live plants, etc.

No, you can use any type of T10 bulb, which are about 4" long, tube shaped incandescent. I use a 40W as I don't like the brightness of a 60 or 100. But you can use any wattage you want.

Many factors would determine which bulb would work best for you including the air temperature surrounding your tank. The water should be somewhere around 77-80 degree's and the light you put in for basking should make that area 10 degree's warmer than the water to encourage the turtle to bask. I would purchase the 75 watt and move it up or down to get the proper temperature. Better to have move than you need rather than not enough heat.

Not a standard 25 watt lightbulb but a smaller aquarium bulb style would fit. However, I would try to keep with a smaller wattage or use fluorescent bulbs as the heat from a 25 watt bulb may be a bit much. There isn't a lot of room for the bulbs and heat dissipation may be an issue. I use a compact fluorescent with mine and have great success with plants and have sufficient lighting.

Ahhh... I'm not sure since my aquarium is quite small (20 gallons), that's why it's worked well for me. I imagine for that size of aquarium you would require a lot of these LED light in order to fulfill your light needs for that size tank. But that also depends on the dimensions of your tank. If it's not that deep (24 inches in height or less), then these lights will do well. But I suggest you research other LED lights before buying this, and you get others opinions. Hope this helps.

I bought this ballast for my aquarium light which is a 15watt T8 bulb the same as your part number f15t8. The ballast wasn't exactly the same but had the correct wiring a specs and is working just fine so far. I purchased it based on feedback fro other people. It should work just fine for you.

You should be able to use this hood but buy a different type of bulb that will offer the correct light. That is what we did for our 10 gallon and what we are planning to do with our 29 gallon, once it's set-up. I just talked with the guy at Petco who is also a huge fish tank keeper and he was VERY helpful with explaining the different types of lights and what we needed. What I'm trying to say is that you don't need to buy a special hood for fresh water plants, you just need to upgrade your bulbs.

The light will fit a 10 gallon tank hood I believe. Make sure you get a good bulb to promote plant growth.

I think what you are asking is; Will the CL26BK over heat a two gallon tank? Since a properly placed lamp sits above the tank and not on directly on the top, there shouldn't be much of a heat problem. I would say though that 26 watts of light might be a lot for such a small tank. The 26 watt bulb that comes with the lamp assembly seems to be poor of lifespan, I've gone though several of them and none have lasted more than two months. I have since switched to another brand of aquarium bulb (20 watt) that fits this lamp and have had no trouble so far. In the end I would say the lamp is good, the bulb that comes with it not so much. I would suggest you also look into some of the new LED lamp assemblies for small tanks.
