Despite reading online posts, I am unable to determine proper lighting for my 10 gallon future reef tank. What would be a good idea? Thanks! I have 2 light slots for 2 light bulbs.

What are you planning on keeping in you tank? You can keep mushrooms and a few other low light corals with nothing more than normal output flourescent bulbs. If you plan to keep other coral, you will want to get power compact lighting in my opinion.

I plan to keep whatever grows out of the live rock. Also, I want to keep a blue damsel, clownfish, and a "zebra" damsel.

If you have no plans for coral, find out what type of bulbs your current tank accepts. I would get 1 actinic bulb and 1 10k bulb. Your current tank probably accepts normal output flourescent bulbs?
