Opinions on a 10-gallon nano...

[Quinn]

I'm hopefully going to have the time to set up my 10 gallon cube this fall at my new place. The tank will contain a shallow sandbed with eggcrate, about 15lbs of LR and a diversity of corals, as well as either a couple of citron gobies or else just some damsels. The question I'm facing right now is whether to go with a 250w halide pendant and attempt to keep the same SPS corals I had in my 150gal, or to keep it simple and do a power compact setup with softies, maybe an LPS and perhaps a Montipora sp. I'm leaning towards the halide and having it about a foot above the water, but I'd like educated opinions on whether this is a good idea, as well as general thoughts on the setup as a whole.
