Originally Posted by DCasey46 Lets just say that its a 100 watt lighting system. Thats about 10 watts per gallon which is good. My 12 g gets about 12.5 watts per gallon (have a 150 watt viper MH on it). I would say you should be ok, just might have a little bit of a heating issue. OK I...

I was at my LFS just moments ago, and saw a Coralife quad 96 watt compact fluorescent light and hood for sale....My question is do you think 96 watts is overkill for a 10 gallon (20 inch long) nano? Will I fry coral or if not fry them have them growing so much they will be spewing out the sides...

I have 4 Molly Miller blennies in my 55 gallon and they are all perfectly fine, no fights...they all vary in size and just happily eat all the algae.
