I am in the process of setting up my 12g nano right now. It has 1x24w 50/50 compact in it now. I know I will probably need to upgrade my lighting to house any coral but I need to know how much light is required. I want to keep xenia, shrooms, zoos and other soft corals. What do I need to grow...

I found a 12g nano cube with live sand for $65. I think I'm going to have my friend pick it up for me tomorrow if I can confirm it a good deal. I am assuming so since they usually run $100-$150. It comes with 24w cf light. How high do I need my wattage to start beginner corals? Thanks! Alex
