    My tank has been running for about six weeks now. I have 7 lbs of live rock, a turbo, 8 hermits, two B&W OC clowns and i have a powerhead along with most everything else i need. Question about my lighting though, my tank is ten gallons and i have a 20w flourescent light on it right now and it gets descent amounts of sunlight. Is that enough orould i find another light and rig some DIY stand for my lights?

    for a ten gal if you go with all low light corals what you have will be enough but spectrum may be a major issue

    i would recomend retro fit with about 40 to 60w or pc lighting and use the 50/50 bulbs for decent color

    either that or go with t5 lights and go with a 2 10k bulbs with about 3 actinic bulbs
