Thanks for that, I opted to go ahead with a 2*9watt Coralife fixture and not worry about lighting.
I use that same fixture over my Mini M. Works great but it does get hot. I run mine without the plastic bulb guard to lessen the heat buildup.

If you are going to use the full 18w then I hope you have CO2 being injected or have the fixture raised up high.
