10gal. coral tank?

[jdodd]

Just bought me 10gal. Would like to have a small coral tank, with maybe one fish. Is this a good idea? If so what lighting fixture should I go with?:help:

What kinds of corals do you want? The more simpler ones are zoos, mushrooms, and xenia. They can be under less lighting that most others. Or do you want SPS corals?

Just some beginner corals. Any suggestions?

Prabably zoos, mushrooms, or xenia. They are not very light demanding and grow and reproduce very quickly. For those you can use just PC lights. The more light the better, so you can fit a 96 watt quadlight on the 10 gallon. Here's a link to one: http://www.hellolights.com/
And here is a link to another thread on the reef forum on zoos. Many pictures of very colorful zoos. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/f/
