Enough for a 10 gallon Nano?


20" 1x96W Coralife Aqualight CF hood w/ Quad 50/50 -Square Pin





Hey guys, what can I keep under this light fixture. I have a standard 10 gallon tank,
well established with live rock/sand and a peppermint shrimp and a brittle star and several hermints and small snails. I want to convert it to a Nano Reef. Will these lights be enough?

Yep, that'll get you by. You'll be able to keep some low-light sps (pocci, seriato, stylo, monti, etc.).

LPS will do the best under that lighting. SPS corals may survive but I dont think that they will thrive and grow much.

any softies or LPS will do fine. if you have enough flow and you put them HIGH in the tank, you can probably manage some SPS as well, but nothing too light-hungry
