Is 18w 50/50 enough for my 10g refugium?

I have a 10 g fuge with a 18w pc 50/50.
I am not sure the watts and spectrum is good enough.
I want to get some more macro soon.
I have some shaving brush but it is growing slowly.
If not should i just get one of those 25w w/ 100w n.o. output
flourescent household bulbs from a desk lamp.
I seen one with a built in reflector that would work.
Or 2 25w if needed.
I want to have it on 24/7.
I want to grow various macro,pod,mysis shrimp , and stars.
If i did i would probably make an acrylic cover for the top.
