I'm trying to choose the correct light for my soon to be coral and fish tank. I have a 10 gal nano. What does everything think about the kessil a150w led with gooseneck pendant?
 
i'd say that is a perfect light for a nano tank, they are a solid, focused beam light with suprisingly good spread. is the 10g your first tank? i'd highly recommend a larger tank, it's tough to keep a tank that small starting out.
 
Kept an 8g for 2yrs. Was my very first SW :) Taught me so much about keeping water parameters balanced/stable. Keeping a nano is so much easier these days. 1000's are doing it successfully!

I did the same with a 12g nano. You have to be super disciplined but it creates great husbandry habits.
 
I'd say you don't need that much light in a Nano tank. You can find way to many other lights cheaper that would light that tank perfect without going overboard.
10g, you only need about 30-40watts of LEDs.
