6 gal NC lighting strong enough?

[TriniReefer]

Hey i was thinkin of getting one of those 6 gallon nano cubes from drfostersmith.Is the lighting strong enough for zoas,ricordeas,or leathers?I might just wait for this year is over and recieve my brothers 120 gal reef setup!But i dont know.Should i uprgade the lighting on the 6 gal?Right now on my 12 gal dlx its pretty decent lighting.

It's enough for a branching frogspawn and hammer, neon-green candycane, white xenia, hairy mushrooms (Rhodactis), white lemnalia, IME. I think it will be not enough for ricordeas, and I had seen photos of the stock NC6, filled with zoas.
BTW, the original lamp is brighter than the Coralife 18W replacement, corals are more leggy now.

I'm thinking of getting a 6 gallon NC as a quarantine, etc. I'm always moving tanks around and the 6 gallon should be easy to setup and take down.

Where's the best place to buy one?
