Lighting N00b

[Noonan]

Im thinking about putting the Nano Cube ideas to the back of my head and just buying a 10-20 gallon and setting it up.

 

How much should good lights go for? I want to be able to keep almost anything... And I'd like to have the kind of lights that have the little legs on the bottom of them to keep the light ontop of the tank.

 

What brand are they.. What would be a good wattage for me.. and how much should they go for? Thanks Guys.

 

PS-- If there is a moon light its better. lol

Those are the ones I was planning to get. Any idea how many watts they are pushing? Of course it doesnt say.. ???

 

Also, does anyone happen to know if they come with a moonlight? The LFS I work at hse those on their reefs and in the morning and before we close they are used as moonlights but I never asked if that was DIY or came standard.

I just got this a few days ago for my 10gal.

It has Dual Daylight (10,000K & 6,700K) and Dual Actinic (460nm & 420nm) Compact Fluorescent bulbs and LEDs. It has 80 W total, so some sps should be ok near the top. This is my first decent light system and I'm happy with it so far (pretty cool looking too).
