Im Nuvo Fusion Nano 10

Would the 18w light with this aquarium be enough for some zoas and softies?? Trying to keep costs low but wondering if I'd be better off to get the setup without the skkye 18w light for $140 instead of $280 with the light. Anyone know of some decent lights to use instead? I'd prefer not to be limited by the light.

Also does anyone have experience with this tank or heard anything about it?

I have the 16g with 2 of those lights and i can keep softies and zoos no problem,i dont think the lights are worth the price they cost but they do a ok job

[spit.fire]

yes, you wont get very good colors out of your corals with the light tho

Agree, you are better off saving the $140 and buy a proper reef led for cheaper, most likely.

Is there any that you'd recommend that are in the same price range roughly??

I ran an ai prime over my 10 gallon, it is more money but for the controlability it was great.
Occasionally you see a used one pop up for $200 ish.

You could go the diy route with par 38 bulbs, there are lots of threads out there on how to do this.

Would I be able to use just one par38?

Probably, but you'd have to raise it higher to achieve spread. The problem would be any spread would be equally distributed 360 degrees, whereas your tank is long and narrow, so the light distribution would be uneven.
