Help with lighting!

[NewtoSalt]

Hello all, I just getting into the whole salt water thing. I have a 10 gallon tank with two maroon clowns for about 6 months now. I know a bigger tank is better but limited on space right now living in a apartment, but hope to be in a house sometime this year. And when we do move plan on having at least a 55 gallon Anyways back to the question. I want to start adding corals to my tank and right now my lighting is Ecilpse F15t8 Natural Daylight. Would this be enough lighting or would I need to upgrade? Thanks for any info in advance.

Yes, in my opinion, you would have to be upgrading your lighting..What to, will all depend on the types of coral that you wish to have...Wether it be hard or soft corals...

Off topic but you do know how big maroon clowns get, right?

I think its about 6 inches max.

For lighting i would wait till you get the house so you wont have to by another light for the 55 gal and that way you can save $$, unless of course you are going to have the 10 gal and 55 gal.

yeah I know about the size on the clowns. I just got the 10 gallon because thats all the room I have right now. New tank will be at least 55gal but really want 125gal or bigger time will tell lol. I would like to get some bubble tip perhaps. So i wasnt for sure about the lighting in current tank. Thanks for the help.
