I have two 10k Power compacts on my chaeto and the growth has been amazing. About a month and i am getting ready to trim.

I have a 96w power compact 50/50 quad bulb. And the growth is very good. I will always use this type of light for my fuge.

I found it to be a perfect fit also, and I'm glad I went with it. I think you will be too.
