Default lighting for a 10g?

I'm a noob to nanoreefing, but have been running FW tanks for years, I have a 10g tank laying around, and would like to turn it into a nanoreef tank! I have been to nano-reef.com and got some really good info, but I'm looking for some more specifics! Most importantly, lighting....I know there are alot of options for lighting out there, but no site I have been to has really given me a clear idea of what lighting I should use on a 10g setup! I'm thinking of getting the 2x36 Bright kit from A H supply seen at http://ahsupply.com/36-55w.htm ....I'm a little confused still as to "how much wattage" I need to use? 1x55w, 1x36w, 2x55w, 2x36w? I think the 36w bulbs will fit better on top of the 10g tank, but will it be enough light, or should I go with a 2x setup?? Sorry for the simpleton question, but as soon as I figure this out, I can start to get setup!!
