Lightning for 8g nano reef

[Nello]

Hi, i'm just starting a nano reef tank. Is it enough 18w 10k + blue actinic mini marine light for 8g nano reef tank?

Thats a PC bulb. It work. But not for SPS or anemones or clams. So youll be limited to softies and LPS.

Look into getting a par38 bulb. I think that would be a better option

Welcome to RC. I would do some more research with regards to what you want to keep and go from there. Like the previous poster stated, PAR38 bulbs are a good option for a tank that size. FWIW, that light you posted looks inexpensive and will probably end up collecting dust or sold for a few bucks.

Also I think that light is more intended for a refugium anyway
