    Hey everyone! As of the moment, I am using the marineland single bright lights for my 10g FOWLR. I recently bought a kenya tree and zoo frag; so far they're both thriving under these lights. I plan on upgrading my lights to do a few more soft corals and have 2 in mind...

    Coralife Aqualight Single Linear Strip Compact Fluorescent Fixture, 1X96 Watt (quad), 6700K, 20 inch
    On this light I would be getting the deluxe version which is upgraded from 6700k to 10000k.

    Marineland Reef Capable LED Lighting System 18-24"

    Any opinions on which one I should get?

    The marineland looks better IMO..LED last ALOT longer then regular T5HO or PC or anything. And if you are just doing softies then you should be okay.
