Lighting question for a ten gallon

[ShadoeFox]

I'm going to be setting up a ten gallon nano/pico tank here in a few weeks. I'm wondering, what type of lighting would I need to be able to do most corals? It's kind of something for my wife who's fallen in love with corals, so she wants something to sit and admire at her desk. We're currently actually running a five, but she's wanting something a bit larger for several reasons.

Strange to upgrade from a five to a ten, when a seventy is down stairs cycling, but oh well. Heh.

LOL Love it. Look at it this way, you are Doubling you tank size. Not that is a big upgrade. LOL

This is a point. Ironic, since the seventy is a doubling (More or less) of the 37 we have in the dining room, though that one's staying up too.

Now you really got me laughing. Talk about Multiple Tank Syndrome. LOL Better be careful or you will be catching up to Carey very soon. If you don't know who Carey is, you will.

Okay, let us see. Once I get the smaller tanks coalesced into the large tanks that are going to (Hopefully) be the permament, and the one's I've got cycling (Yes, plural) are done I'm looking at having a:

37 gallon freshwater community tank.
37 gallon saltwater/reef peaceful community tank
47 gallon bow front freshwater angel community tank
70 gallon FOWLR (Let's not kid ourselves. It'll be a Reef soon enough)
10 gallon nano-reef
and last but not least a 20 tall guppy tank.

That's ignoring the little beta tanks. They just blow their bubble nests and don't ask for much compared to the others. Heh.

In retrospect, I really need to start photographing these things, don't I.

Yes you do. LOL One more tank and you will be tied with Carey.
