how much 10g nano light

[Altpers0na-old]

I have a 10g tank that has some small anems, 2 coral , 2 fish... currently has a 15w 93kk light on it...

how much light do you have on your 10g tanks?

Coral won't last long at all, are you new to the hobby? Anemones really aren't for nanos, let alone 15 watt light.

The powerquad is good, probably your best bet. It's 96 watts.

yip, been at it for 4 months...

the anems are curly ques and are doing pretty well... all but my yellow polyps are doing well...

96w over 8 inches of water... sounds like alot ...

I have 55w over my 10 and it will sustain corals but they don't seem to thrive. I have since moven them to my 20 and I am converting the 10 to a fowlr. 20"power quad is a great light and actually have one over my 20H that is thriving...

I have the Current USA 20" 80 watt setup. Is super brite, but I don't think 80 - 120 W is to much. I like my current light setup.

A 250W or 400W metal halide mogul 6 inches above the water on a 10 gallon would be to much I believe.

i would say 150W HQI would be perfect. i love mine. had the powerquad and hated it.

running 175w 14k coralvue on my 10g 8" off the water surface supplemented with 20w 50/50 n.o. flourescent and everything from softies,lps and sps love it

I've got a Corlife 2x65, it looks awesome, my RBTA loves the light.
