Is 28 watts enough for a small 10 gallon nano reef tank. I was also wondering. My tank is 20inches long. Can I use a 24inch light with more power. I know It will over hang. Would that be a problem. I was wondering If also a 28 watts will be good for soft corals

It depends, if its 28 watts PC, yes it should be enough for some softies, shrooms and zoos, maybe not hough, only 2 watts per gallon, if its NO, i dont think anything can live under that, except for some shrooms.

Dont quote me on this, im not positive

You will need more light. Look for something more like 5-7 watts per gal. i think.
