Lighting question

Would this light be overkill on a 10 gallon?
I am buying this large of light because I plan on upgrading my reef to a 20 gallon once I get out of school next semester and throwing this light on the 20.

no..not at all, it looks like you are purchasing PC's...i dont think you can do any over kill with PC....you might even want to upgrade to something better for your 20g. I dont think that will be enought light....well it actually depends on what you want to keep. However just to be safe i would make another upgrade for the 20g.

I have that same light for sale just send me a private message if interested. I bought it used it for less then 3 weeks and then built myself a MH setup. If you are interested I can give you a much better price, and the bulbs being less then 3 weeks used are practically brand new!!!
