Its been about 5yrs since I left the hobby. I had a great friend who gave me my first reef setup. After having it sit around, I passed everything I had to another reefer. Yet as hard as I try to stay away, I keep coming back for more. I've had an 8gal nano thats been up and running for the last 3 months and wanted to add some yellow polyps, a paly, and maybe xenia. The problem (promise my question is coming up) is I only have a 20wat 50/50 PC bulb overhead. I see how LED's are no longer used as moonlights but main lighting sources as well. So, Im wondering if anyone has experience with some I have listed at the bottom and if they have any exp. with their capabilities to sustain a basic reef.

Just got back from one of the sellers stating all the lights can be turned on at the same time. He also claims it can support a reef...taking that last statement with a grain of salt.
 
Those aren't really going to be good lights at all. For such a small tank I would personally go with a par38 bulb from one of the reef light makes. Should be able to find one under 100 dollars for the bulb itself.
