I have one on a 16g, can't compare to the 10K XM but this thing is really really BRIGHT!! Make sure your water stays clean and it will light up your tank nicely without creating too much heat.

According to Sanjays data, the 175w 15k iwasaki puts out more than the 175W 10k XM. PPFD of 86 vs 70 on icecap ballasts.
