Default 10 Gal. lighting

I wanted to have a small tank on the side to grow a few things. Its a 10 gal. with a 5 gal/ wet/dry & sump. 13w combo in the sump and a 96w quad combo in the 10. Is this just way too much light or will I be ok. Thanks for the input.

You should be ok with the lighting that you have just get rid of the bio-balls if you are talking about wet/dry! Bio-balls==nitrate and phosphates(no good)!!!!
enjoy!
