watts in nano..???

[Kike12]

I want to know how many watts of lights do i need for a 15 gallon nano tank with sps ?? (sorry for my english =D)

^your english is fine ;)
[i think] it depends on what kind of lighting. Are you looking at PCs, MHs, T5s, LEDs......?......

I'd use LEDs, won't heat your water but what kind of lighting do you want to use? Check out nano tuners.com

i think the leds or t5 but how many watts??

LEDs I'd just use 6 LEDs about 3 watt each but the par is good.
T5s , how long the tank you might have a hard time finding small t5s
LEDs best bet my opinion.

Hi Kike12

With that light you only keep soft corals. You might think about Leds, they are so much better.

I'd do 6CW + 6RB XR-E cree LEDs for your tank running at around 500ma. Should cost you about 120-150 bucks to make your fixture. Mine uses about 32W/h for the 12 LEDs + 4 40mm fans.
