What kind of coral do you want to do in it?
My last 10g setup I ran 4 24" T5HO's, if you just doing zoa's and simple stuff Current Orbit Marine LED maybe sufficient.

I'm selling my Kessil A150W w/ gooseneck on craigslist Jersey Shore for $180. I had it on my son's 10g reef for 11 months before he lost interest so I moved everything over to another tank. It's the 15k Ocean Blue, looks amazing with a nice shimmer.

The Current USA is great for the price. For a 10g it should be plenty for softies and LPS. I like that it's programmable for sunrise sunset. You can always add another light if you want down the road.

what about the finnex marine lights? i heard good about them too. do you think they would be fine too for lips and softies?

I think the finnex has similar output to the Orbit, Orbit is probably the better deal since it includes the built in timer and remote.

I would go with the current fixture. The link doesn't work for me though. How many bulbs is it? Ditch the stock bulbs and go with ATI bulbs. I keep softies, lps, and sps in a 65 with a 4 bulb t-5 foxture with ATI bulbs.
