WaterBox 10 gallon lighting

[jacobboo123]

Hey guys, I am new to the saltwater world, I've been in freshwater for years but new to salt. I am setting up a 10 gallon WaterBox. I know smaller tanks are harder but I plan to not just jump in, I am waiting until I have the best equipment to at least help ensure everything at least has a chance. I am thinking of getting the H80 Tuna Flora Saltwater Aquarium LED as a grow light. I am planning on doing a soft coral only tank with only limited stocking. I know the light does not have much control over lighting besides two dials, does anyone know what position is best on both dials for growing soft corals? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I would probably go for something else. The tuna flora is designed to grow algae. It does that resonably on a small refugium. I would probably go for something more geared for coral. I have this light on my refugium with the light set to grow at full intensity. the color ranges fro blue to, purple, to red.

Do you have any recommendations? I know the AI Prime is the big boy, are there any other good options?

there is a tuna blue rather than the flora if you like that form factor
Tuna Blue
with only 15 wattsof power you will probably want to run it at max intensity.

I know this is some what of a old post. I am currently starting out with a xr15 g5 pro on my new waterbed build. I will keep everyone posted! I had good success with my Xr30 g3 over my regular 10 gallon.
