Yea, I have a nice aquaclear which I can use for a refugium, as I see the usefulness of them, although I seem to have lost my nice clear aquaclear lid, not that its important lol.

T5 bulbs with any particular rating other then, at least having 10 000 kelvin?

I should rename this thread, custom 10 gallon SPS tank.

50/50 Aquablue/Blueplus is my favorite look, but it's all personal taste.

and this actually would work for SPS corals?*i'm assuming u mean it would, but just to be sure*

Oh, you're still doing the SPS thing. Normally for SPS you pretty much fill the top of your tank with T5 reflectors. Not sure how this would apply to a nano though, might need some barbecue sauce to go with it. I'm thinking maybe 4 tubes wired on 2 circuits. 2 tubes on for a 12 hour photo-period, and all 4 on for as long as your corals can handle it. On my 72G I had 6 54W tubes on for 12 hours, and it worked well for SPS. You should check out some nano forums before you do anything.

I found another bulb, not quite the ones you reccomended, as those are too long, great stats, but too long to be of value. It is a 50/50, 14 000k and a 7 400k bulb, although I did a quick search on wetwebmedia and these are not reccomended. I think I was sick the day of kelvin explination at school, why would 14 000k be bad compared to a 10 000k bulb? *and yea, the 7400 daylight part isn't the best, but ignoring that*
