Wattage
I have a 10 gallon tank with a coupe of Clowns , invertabrates live rock and want to add some Corals going. Is there anything wrong with having too much wattage. I want to but a power compact to fit my tank and found a 4 bulb unit with 96 watts. Is that too much. Thanks for the help

The only problem is you will have to acclimate your corals to the intensified lighting. It just depends. I have almost 400 watts of T5HO and Metal Halides over my tank........I HAVE to acclimate my corals to the lighting or they bleach and die. I would say it just depends on what corals........and with PC bulbs......your not going to burn anything....
