I asked this question about my 12g nano and Steve's LEDs were recommended. I'd suggest checking out their website.

From what I read thay don't need much like 30 to 50 for a fuzzy dwarf lionfish mine is only like 2 to 3 inches anyway so I don't think is going to be problem plus the pet sore I got it from said it wiuld be fine.

One thing about this hobby.. Never trust the fish store unless you know them personally.. Luckily in my area 2 out of the five stores are sponsors on my local thread. I really only shop with them. Everyone else is just trying to make a sale

I have the same tank and just re did my lights. I went on eBay and bought the retro fit kit. It came with a 50/50 mix of blues and whites. One thing I will say it invest in a new reflector to install with. You can re use the fans you have. The switch is well worth it.
