A 26w 6500k spiral bulb will work on that small 6-1/2 g tank he has. He said he was adding only low light corals. If you want to go with the old rule of thumb...he has about 3 watts per gallon, but we don't really go by that rule any more. I think the lighting he chose for that project really is the way to go... cheap and efficient.

What type of frags are you putting in there? Softies or zoas?
