Need lighting suggestion

I'm currently getting things together for a new 10 gallon nano. It's a standard 10 gallon from Petsmart. I have lots of equipment that I've 'retired' from my 65 gallon reef and plan on using them.

One item I'm not real sure about is a 24" Coralife fixture I have and would like to use but a few things come to mind.

It the 65W x 2 fixture ( the one with seperate cords and switches for each bulb ) http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...roduct=ES53102

I'm concerned if 130W will be enough intensity. I have never had a tank this small.

Another concern is the age of the fixture...I will be replacing the bulbs of course but should I replace the ballast too? The fixture is about 3 years old or less.

Any advice is well appreciated
