Hey guys
I am going to start a 10g and want to try corals. Is two 13 watt cfl lights enough for any corals?

i dont think they will be the right spectrum for corals.

Nice, now just if they were a little cheaper haha. I dont really want to spend $52 on lightbulbs lol it would be the most expensive part of my tank. But I'll have to watch for some cheaper ones....

Lol I didn't realize that the link was canadian, so the price was different. I am going to order two, will they be enough for corals?

it might be worth a try with some easy corals first and see how they do. just take it slow..Small Aquarium Lighting: Mini Compact Bulbs
