I got a 10 gallon IM Fusion nano yesterday. I have a par38 bulb with 12 one watt LEDs. Is that enough light for say zoas and other soft corals ?
 
Does it light the tank up good? It might be if your just stocking zoas and softies. Zoas typically adapt to most lighting.
 
zoas don't really demand much light.
 
I haven't tried it over the tank yet. I just got the tank last night. Haven't even taken it out of the box. Will probably be a month or so before I can start filling it. Just had the par38 laying around and was wondering if it would work.
 
I only have the one par38 bulb. It's 12 watts. Had it for awhile. Didn't know if it would be enough light.
