Good lights for a 10 gallon

[Krypt]

I plan on starting a 10 gal mini reef to sit in my office to help me relax while I do work. I have everything I need basically except lights. On my 55 gal tank I run T5HO lights and I can't seem to find a small enough fixture for my 10 gal. Anyone got any suggestions?

For just a 10 gallon you can use PC`s. You wont need high intensity lighting for that.

Sweet, that just saved me some cash. I can just modify the hood it came with for PC's. Thanks Mel.

UVL is supposed to be coming out with 12" T5HO bulbs sometime in July i believe. You should get one of those 6 or 8 gallon AIO's. They look nice and you get to hide all the equipment.

I actually scrapped this project. I had the tank up for about a month but it didn't give me the look I wanted so I took it down. I didn't get a chance to get into modifying the lights.

wow i didn't even look at the date. I'm telling you though, those little AIO tanks are pretty sweet. The small square ones just look too weird.
