Anyone recommend a great nano light for my 3 gallon tank that is great for Corals. The stock light I have I don't think will cut it for what I am wanting in the way of corals.

What kind of corals? If you're looking for something used and cheap for softies zoas and shrooms one of the old innovative marine 8w lights will do. I used to have one and it supported Duncan's and hammers but I don't know how well it would do with lps. Also the fluval sea marine would do ok. I think it's 14w. Par 30 or 38 would be fine too.

How do you think this would work?

The Par30 7 Watt was what I was thinking of trying?

I think it would work, but it's hard to say since I have no personal experience. I would just do as much research as you can. The last review on that Amazon link posts their RC username, you could search RC and see if he has a thread on their build, or mentions the light anywhere, or just shoot them a PM to see how they're liking it.

Thank you, I didn't notice that at all. I will send him a message and see if he still likes them as much! :)
