Lighting for 10 gallon

[barjam]

I had a montiporia eating nudibranch outbreak in my main tank (120 gallon). So I threw together a 10 gallon nano/QT tank for the montiporia with stuff I had on hand. I didn't have any real reef lights available so I threw this on there with a utility reflector, 65 watts (equal to 300 watts of incandescent). How long could this keep montiporia alive?

What is the cheapest (prefer LED) setup I could put over a standard 10 gallon that could keep acros? I am thinking the 12 LED kit from rapid LED would be my best/cheapest option anything else?

Thanks

I think the rapid led kit or a par38 bulb would be fine. Might have to get two bulbs for full coverage though.

In case anyone else finds this in the search I went with a 12 LED kit from RapidLED. Seems like I should be able to keep anything with those depending on placement.

never tryed aquatraders LED's but I use their T5 fixtures on two of my tanks and I think there awsome. I have a 4x bulb T5 over my 11G Mr Aqua and it grows corals like crazy, plus you can put daylight, acntinics and moonlights all on separate timers

I think 2x par38 bulbs over a 10g would melt your corals

I would just get two par30/38 and call it good. I highly recommend something with neutral whites instead of just cool whites with the royal blues. The more colors added in the better, like the full spectrum par38s now available.
