lights for a 10 gallon

thats true you can't match the light from the sun, but i do think its possible to match the amount of light corals get in the ocean once you get around 15- 20 wpg. any way the reason i said it was two much is that in my expierence once you get over 10 wpg there is just to much heat generated for the water volumn for you to be able to run it with out a chiller

edit: im just guessing on the figure of 15-20 wpg because i know a lot of the spectrum doesn't make it to the coral

 

I will agree with that. On my setup I have a 55gal sump under the AC vents =) What about 2 of them mini subs
Coralife Mini-Aqualight With 1-9W Actinic / 1-9W 10,000K Lamp

 

i would shoot for more around 4-7 wpg, so it would take 4 of the lights it would be fine

 

Ok so check this out.

I like this one i'm only 17 and i cant spend 100s on lights would fursent(spelling) work or two of those energy saver bulbs from wallmart made 4 tanks

 

If your housing coral you need the right lights.

 

going back over the lighting i think this would be cheaper and give you more watts Aquarium Lightings - Power Compact Lighting - Free Gift with Light Fixture Purchase

if it was me i would use that, i think buying a more expensive one would be a waste of money in your case. the 65w strip will allow you to get a feel for the hobby and if you like it you will probably end up going to a bigger tank, then you can go all out on that one
