    Default I got lights for my 10 gal. What do you think???

    The unit is a 96 watt Coralife Aqualight, deluxe series 4 tube linear strip.
    It is a compact fluorescent fixture with 2 fans. It runs a 50/50 light part #54078.

    I'd had one (actually a couple) of those tubes over our daughters 10g tank for a while, they are the only way to get some higher lightng to a 20" tank without a halide. It really makes a good punch for a small tank.

    Got pics?

    No digi yet. Plus the fact that the lighting caused a huge algae bloom would make for very ugly pics.

    With that much light you should be able to keep most anything quite happy, any softies, LPS, and some SPS corals (ie... most montipora should de well) anything short of the more sensitive and some higher light clams.
