    Hi, Im new to the forum and new to reef aquariums. My tank has been running for about 3 months. I am wanting to upgrade to some halfway decent lighting without having to pay TOO much. I was thinking of getting a Coralife 95watt quad retro. I have a normal 10 gallon aquarium. Would this be enough light for some of the lower light corals like mushrooms????

    well 95 watts over a 10 gal tank will definatly be fine for shrooms...might be a little too much for that small a tank, if your not planning to go the sps nano route (hard imo) i might try for somthing less :)

    Thank you. I will probably still go with the 95 watts. I just wanted to make sure it was enough to be ok for now......
