Need help with lighting for a 10g nano :)

[ultimatedc]

This board is fairly active and I need to make a decision quick

FOWLR now, hoping for it to slowly become zoa/mushroom garden.

I've narrowed it down to these three, simply because they're the only lights I can find for a 10g.. I don't want to go PC or halidie route, as I don't want high heat output..


Amazon.com: 18-24 in. Marineland Double Bright LED Light - 6 x 1W white - 3 x .06W blue: Kitchen & Dining

Amazon.com: 18 to 24 in. Marineland Single Brite LED Light Fixture - 54 x .06W LED: Kitchen & Dining

Current USA Nova Extreme T5HO X2 - Saltwater T-5 HO Fixtures

Obviously the second light is the cheapest and the one I'd hope would be sufficient enough... but the third comes with the lights I need, and seems to have a higher output?

Idk, anything beats the standard 18w flouresecent bulb I have.

You always want to plan ahead IMO, Later if you would like to get some corals in your tank or get corals that require more lighting you dont want to have to redo everything again. I would go with the Current USA lights.

cheers,

^^ +1, I would agree with the current USA lights as well.

How about a high output led PAR38 bulb? One would do you for a ten gallon. Nanotuners and rapidled sell them. The prices have really come down and they are plug and play.
