10gal Lighting Odyssea T5

[fishyman12]

Is a Odyssea 20" 72W (4x 18W) T5 HO Light Fixture Extendable Series a sufficient light for a 10 gallon reef tank that is 12"L x 20-1/4"W x 10"H. I want to put some frogspawn, hammer, basically a LPS tank. But I also might want to put some mushrooms and zoanthids inn. Does this light fit the lighting needs?

Yes, it sure does. I set up a little ten gallon on a budget a while back and used that same light, a AC70 HOB filter with the surface skimmer attachment and a Koralia nano 425 for flow, in the filter I just ran filter floss and carbon. I spent under $100. I used some left over rocks and sand from my other tank, the filter I had lying around. It eventually turned into a frag tank and then back to a reef tank in about a years time but still a very fun size compact aquarium to setup. 1 gallon water changes are simple as can be too!
