I am thinking updating my 5g tank to a reef tank. I need a light system for this small tank. Any one has good advice?
Thanks.

The light I mentioned from current usa would be perfect. I have this light on my 5.5 gal and it is very nice.
Google it and you can see for yourself if this is what you want.

Tank is doing fine except for the dam glass, I don't know if I have an algae outbreak and what to do about it but man that glass could be scraped everyday. My lfs said its the one bulb in there, they say its 10,000k but its like a 6500k what are your thoughts on this??
I don't have an algae issue anywhere else in the tank except for the glass, could it be the food I feed...

I just don't know
No new pics everything is still the same at the moment.

my 10k looks like a 10k. so idk what to tell you

Yes its gone, finally. I think my tank probably went through a touch of a cycle too with moving everything from the 3 gal to the 5 gal then the new lights too. I get a film on the glass but nothing like it was so that is good, I guess things just need time to adjust. As for the light mine says 10,000k too so don't know what the heck my lfs is talking about and it looks like a 10,000k too like you say.
