Need some advice from some of the seasoned nanoreefers,
I have a very small frag tank (12"widthx12length"x6"height) which runs in line on the return of the main tank. (yet to be commissioned)
It's situated in a small shelf on the fish room where there is very little space to fit lighting (probably 14" length and 20" width) currently I have one of these with reflectors:

Which fits perfect, was looking to possibly getting a 2nd which would cover the enitre tank, however the bulbs are only 8 watt so maxium of 32 watt (which works out @ roughly 344.4 watts per square meter)
The advantage of this unit is the choice of bulbs and runs quite cool in the enclosed space, however was wondering whether you nano'ers can give me some possible options to use inside which will give more power output for the small size, in particular the various power compacts available.
Cheers Cyno
