You can keep ALOT under PC lighting

to further more UVL released these and I would look into them if your planning on running PC's

http://www.nanotuners.com/index.php?...qi0noit5kqpl10

They have only been released recently and I almost bought them before finally deciding on going with a viper MH cause of the price.

I have kept acans, hammer, torch, birdsnest sps, mushrooms (floridas, yumas, and other ricordias), zoa's.... basically your harder sps is what you will be limited from, esspecially in a 10gal.

Just run a fuge, chemi-pure and keep up with waterchanges and your set. also run a good salt, H2Ocean sells small buckets. I would reccomend this aswell

I run the Fishneedit 70 watt over my 5 gallon.
Great value and has worked well for me so far. I got the 20k bulb, and once it breaks in, it really looks closer to a 14k. Otherwise not a single complaint about it.

No fans.
They run an external ballast. The fixture itself stays quite cool actually.
