Yea, I have a nice aquaclear which I can use for a refugium, as I see the usefulness of them, although I seem to have lost my nice clear aquaclear lid, not that its important lol.

T5 bulbs with any particular rating other then, at least having 10 000 kelvin?

I should rename this thread, custom 10 gallon SPS tank.

50/50 Aquablue/Blueplus is my favorite look, but it's all personal taste.

Oh, you're still doing the SPS thing. Normally for SPS you pretty much fill the top of your tank with T5 reflectors. Not sure how this would apply to a nano though, might need some barbecue sauce to go with it. I'm thinking maybe 4 tubes wired on 2 circuits. 2 tubes on for a 12 hour photo-period, and all 4 on for as long as your corals can handle it. On my 72G I had 6 54W tubes on for 12 hours, and it worked well for SPS. You should check out some nano forums before you do anything.

I found another bulb, not quite the ones you reccomended, as those are too long, great stats, but too long to be of value. It is a 50/50, 14 000k and a 7 400k bulb, although I did a quick search on wetwebmedia and these are not reccomended. I think I was sick the day of kelvin explination at school, why would 14 000k be bad compared to a 10 000k bulb? *and yea, the 7400 daylight part isn't the best, but ignoring that*
