Too Much Light???????

[bswe22]

Is there such a thing as too much light. I am looking to get a new light for a new 10 gallon reef tank. I was looking at a 24" 4 tube T5HO light fixture that has a total of 96 watts. Is this too much light for a 10 gallon tank? Here is a link to the light fixture I was looking at.

no its not too much light. im using a nova extrem 4x24w t5ho on my 10 gallon and its perfect. im also using better bulbs and the corals are all doing well. im staggering out putting the bulbs in so that i dont shock my corals

nova has a 20" 6x18w for a believe the same price

dont go with 6 x 18w, u'll be stuck with the current bulbs only and u might want different bulb choices (for better coloration and higher par)

I want to stay away from CF. They cost much more than T5HO bulbs.

its not a pc fixture. its a t-5 syatem. i have 2 2x18w nova lights over my 10 and i keep sps, and one bulb is out
