Would a coralife 28 watt light be enough light. I have a 10 gallon nano. Im just starting it. I dont want to spend alot. Because im getting my 55 gallon reefready tank going also. The 10 gallon is going to be my girlfriend. She wahts 2 clown fish. Seems like everybodys girl frind wants one. Also would it be good for soft corals. Xenas mushrooms poylops ect. I was going to get the corallife 96 watt. I rather put the 100.00 into a better ligh for my 55 gallon. Also is anyone running a corallife 28 watt PC.

go with atleast 40watts (4w/gal) if you plan on keeping a corals.

With my 15 i figured why worry about future upgrades and i went straight for the 70w MH w/ 2x18w PC Actinics.
