Interested in setting up a 10g mixed tank

[johnjamiesonx]

I am interested in setting up a 10g tank with soft/LPS/SPS corals .
I am looking at buying this light, 24'' Nova Extreme T5 4x 24 W
and a Current USA nano protein skimmer.
I don't know too much about SPS/LPS but they have sparked my interest and I would really like to be able to keep them, can't afford the lighting to keep them in my 125, or is this lighting too much, it is 9.6 watts per gallon.
I really like the monitpora, acropora, brains, and plates. Will I be able to keep them in this setup? also, can I keep clams, or no. thanks

that should be enough if they have individual reflectors. but you need to test your water a lot in a ten gallon if you want sps. one little spike in a ten gallon and its all over.
im also setting one up. you can follow along in my diary. im going to have 130watts of PC, and will keep softies and some LPS.

Yeah you must keep up on it, I did weekly 25% water changes with my old one and it was fine, but yeah you definitely need a protein skimmer and thats plenty of light :O
