    I had 2 par38 on my 10 gallon sps nano. Did great until a power outage killed everything :/

    My LFS said I should look into Ecoxotic Stunner Strips. That about 3 of them would be good enough to grow anything in my 10gal. Is this true? Or am I better off with the Aqaustyle kit or a par38?

    Stunner strips are accent lighting and thats about it. Either go with a DIY kit like 1.0reef is suggesting or a couple of par38s.

    Get a good DIY kit
    Aquastyle is not worth it

    I had a wingo-built LED in my 12G fluval edge that i kept about 2 years ago as a single clown/aneomone tank. Worked well. Had 4 LEDs and dimmer knobs for blue/white channels
