what is the best lighting for a ten gallon reef tank? The dementions are 16x8.5x10
I plan on keeping zoanthid,mushrooms,green star polyps, and xenia. 10 pounds of live rock. 3 inches of sand.
planned livestock are 2 hermit crabs, 2 astrea snails, 5 nassauris snails, cleaner shrimp or coral banded shrimp, emerald crab and a yellow tail damsel.
I'm also gonna get a filter for a 20 or 30 gallon tank insted of a skimmer,regular heater small power head and maybe airstone.

This is all on if my 26 bow goes ok which I have as a fowler(with inverts) but I got interested in a zoa polyp and want to move it.

wow I looked at that website and noticed the dimensions I measured are for a 5 gallon! thanks for the input so I guess I'm gonna have to put less rock in there for the damsels swimming room.

they say to have 18 watts of light for that tank...would 36 be to much consisdering the mushrooms don't need that much light?
