Alright I'll get the rodi water. I think I'm going to leave the rockscape the way it is. I don't want to break the rock and it looses it's natural look.

Also will 2 coralife 50/50 20 watt each bulbs work for my tank with corals?

Most people will say no or only softies.

The thing is, I'm doing a test of them on a 10g, and so far, we only have frogspawn In there and it's doing great.

Well, what do you plan on keeping?
Par38's are generally recommended for a 10g.

I can't find it. Sorry. They come in a few days and the guy selling them has good feedback. Why don't you like eBay?

Technically speaking, his LEDS shouldn't work. After time, they will wear down and won't support anything. Like with any light.

Par38's are the proven way to. Just because he has had success doesn't mean you will.

Look at the ones from Rapid LED. There's another one that people recommend, but I can't remember the name,

"Your" LEDS aren't ideal.

Par38's can range anywhere from 40-100.

They haven't been tested over a long period of time. They aren't proven. For all we know they could just break in a month, or loose enough power to not support anything.
