Yeah, my rational side is telling me to go with the 10. I have some 13W CFL bulbs I could put in it.

I'm pretty sure I spotted 5 in one of the pictures. I'm pretty sure I've read about this tank before. It was set up just for the pictures and then the fish were moved back to a normal tank.

Safe for a brackish aquarium?
