Hello! My name is Alex. I'm new to saltwater tanks, and could use some advice for a 10g nano reef I hope to set up in the future!
I saw Mike from Mass Aquariums uses a ZooMed Aquasun HO LED light system for his 10g nano, but after doing a little more research I see a lot of people saying that it doesn't produce enough light.
Anyone have this light on a nano and have any comments or advice?
I was also looking at the Current USA Orbit marine LED, which is a little more expensive, but has more options for control and power.
I plan on having one or two small fish, a few inverts, and growing LPS and soft coral.
Advice, opinions, or alternative solutions welcome! =]

While I could maybe spring the extra cash for that, I was really hoping for something with onboard controls. I love the availability of control via app or PC, but I don't like the idea of something that can ONLY be controlled that way. Kinda scares me. Thank you for your suggestion!
