Lighting for a 10 gal nano reef

[MillerDog1]

Got my Nano up and running.... sort of. I recently added my first two corals (a Hammer and a Hairy Mushroom) and I noticed that the Mushroom is closing up and losing its color. I'm assuming this is from insufficient lighting. What would you guys recommend for a 10 gal? Also not trying to break the bank but I can't see lighting for a tank this small being too terribly pricey.

I've had good luck running a Maxspect Razor Nano on my 10 g.

If I was gonna light up a 10 gallon nano mixed reef...its likely I would go with a AI Prime as well as my first choice. That being said...I have lit up such tanks with 2 x NO T-12's to a 175 watt Halide and everything imaginable in between. Depends on your goals and your budget. You got a number of options tho...

I don’t have personal experience with the AI lights, but from what I have read and the reviews I have seen it would seem like a great option.
