how much light does this need?

[Steven0000]

i want to get a leather finger coral
and i was wondering if i have enough light for it
i have a 10g nano
with 60 watts of light
is this enough?

What kind of lighting?

 

[Steven0000]

4 50/50's
2 20's
and 2 10's

Is this all PC lights?

 

[Steven0000]

no they are those new compact flourescents that screw in and are self balasted

Well in a shallow tank you may be allright. IMO those bulbs just dont have alot of punch, perhaps if they were set up with a real good reflector they would be more efficient.

hmmm
well i think you are right they dont pack much of a punch
but its what i can afford
so maybe if i put it at the top of the tank
it will be fine

if you already have the leather then it s a moot point
