I'm in the process of buying equipment for a nano tank (2.5 gal). I want to do LED lighting to cut down on the heat since I know it will be a huge issue with such a small tank. I came across this site, from reading here on RC

Do you think instead of a 6 LED kit, a 3 LED kit (2 white, 1 blue) will be enough lighting to maintain coral in the 2.5 gal tank?
If so, do you all think going with 80 degree lenses would be best, to cover as much tank as possible?
I plan on putting the 3 LEDs in a line, spaced apart in the order of white-blue-white
Thanks for any help
