Well as long as your just planning easier stuff, a 2 bulb T5HO might do the trick, though you might regret it later on if you want to do more intense corals and have to get another fixture again. For about $150 you could do LED's that'll grow whatever you want and even be usable if you upgrade tank sizes later on.

I see. I think I saw a 2 fixture t5 for $60

As of right now, I have an actinic bulb.
Planning on using it for kind of the night (feeding) I guess.

If I get the 2 fixture, I think I'll use that during the day. What lights should I use tho? A 14k and a 50/50?

Here's a powerful one, kind of like the one I have on my 75 gallon. It is more than $75, but it is still under $100 :)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Specct...929?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f205d8ac1 I'd spend a little more and get something like this, overkill on a 10g but you can tune it down with the dimmer and it'll be good for probably upto a 40breeder if you upgrade in the future. Better quality then aquatrader. If you're going to buy the aquatrader I'd save some money and get the $50 x4 T5HO fixture.

A 4xt5ho fixture for only $50? Where lol!

I've seen like the x2 t5's for like $60.

You must link one for me lol!


And ptrick, those also could work but I'm not sure about it.
