how much light do I have?

Really can't find a way to ask that without it looking stupid in topic length

I've got a standard 10 gallon tank and have a 65 watt 50/50 fixture over it(no top on the tank so no diffusion there) Is it high, medium or low? Or at least what sorts of coral can I keep in it? I was considering getting a montipora, would I have enough light for it?

You should be fine to keep any softies, LPS and easier to keep SPS such as montiporas. I wouldnt however attempt any acroporas, they would require metal halides or T-5s. Hope this helps.

Nah, wasn't going to try the acros, just wanting a monti. Just as nice and yet supposed to be more forgiving, who can argue with that? Thanks!
