I'm looking to upgrade the two Coralife Compact Fluorescent 50/50 Incandescent Type Bulbs on my 10 gallon reef to a <a href="http://www.esuweb.com/cardfile.asp?ItemNumber=53101&IDProductRelationship=36">Coralife 20" AquaLight Deluxe (96 watt 50/50 4-Tube)</a>.
Currently in the tank I have a Green Clown Goby, a cleaner shrimp that may or may not make it through it's <a href="http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=936544">molting issues</a>, a <a href="http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=934424">Blue Mushroom</a>, an assortment of snails, and one Blue Leg Hermit Crab.
I'm looking to add a pair of clowns and some coral in the next month or two. I'll probably go with more mushrooms, polyps, and some softies to start and eventually work my way up to the more demanding stuff over time.
I have two questions. First, will that be too much light for the mushroom I have already? <i>Resolved by moving it under some shade?</i> Second, is that enough light to keep everything but the most finicky SPS Corals, Clams, and Anemones?
