30 watts over a 10 gallon too much?
I will be tearing down one of my 10 gallons sometimes this weekend..or next. Right now I have 1 single light on my tank hood it is a single 15 watt with 6500k. Once I get my tank dirted and planted a little more, could I add another strip light so that there are 30watts or would that be overkill and cause algae issues? I do not want to dose Co2.

yeah id say stick with the single bulb, without co2 your gonna have algae problems, dirted tanks tend to work best in a slow and steady low tech approach. with the extra light your plants would need more nutrients and co2 to keep the system in balance and enable them to thrive and out-compete the algae.
