10W per gallon!  that is "cookin"
Just goes to show wide range light can be for sealife to live and thrive!
2w per gallon in my NanoCube and corals (all softies) doing great, out growing tank, zoa spreading nicely. Plus two small BTA's, while not fully expanding, are surving well and keeping clowns happy.
Except for the anems, think all growing faster in Nano then in main tank w/ ~4w gallon. 
Suppose much depends on what you want to keep in tank.
