Lightning Suggestions for a 12gal Eclipse

[fireman03]

I have a 12gal. Eclipse that has just cycled. I am looking to start a nano reef with simple corals at first. What would be a good amount of lighting (ie watts). Also, what would be a good retro fit for what I have?
Thanks

Talk to Marineland. They make light combo upgrades. Here's what you can do with your twelve and 30 watts of flourescents which is one of the upgrades they sell. Mine was 50 to my door i think may be different today. I got mine a year ago. BTW my tank doesn't look like this any more. I moved alot of the corals into a 20 with way better light. But it will give you and idea. The bottom middle is a kenya tree coral which is frikin huge now.

very nice! I like the bridge effect you used when placing your LR.
Thanks
