Does anyone has a recommendation for a lighting system for a ten gallon reef?

I dont really want MH

I will keep soft corals and LPS

I want something quiet and not too expensive

Thanks

10gal is 20" isn't it? You could do 2x 24" T5s... Or 2x 65W PC lamps. Both would give you tons of light.

Check the "Sponsors" on the top right hand side of the page. They have a lot of fixtures for your 10g tank. I would go with PCs because it comes in various sized that will cover a 20" length. T5s, the shortest I've seen are 24" and they are High Output. I mean there are T5s that are shorter but not High Output.
