I am just cycling a nuvo nano 16 gallon right now. It's all stock and I really want to have just small critters with mostly shrooms and zoo's and poly's etc. It comes with two led light that I believe are 8 watt each. They sit up about 6" off surface and the tank is 16" deep. I think that this is possibly enough, but saw a kessil pendent 150w the other day at the LFS and wow it looked awesome! Would this be too much light? Or any suggestions?
thank so much in advance!!
 
My friend has the same tank. I thought the lights were way too weak but he has been growing zoos, mushrooms, torches, frogspawn, chalices, and acans with great growth which I did not expect
 
How many LED's are in each 8-watt fixture? I think you can't tune the blue/white color ratio on those? You should be good on light, personally I like a bluer look to the tank, but the 150w fixture is overkill on a tank that size.
