lighting a 10 gallon reef

I got some good suggestions in the Alabama forum, but I thought I'd ask here as well.

How do you guys light a 10 gallon tank? I've been using 2 20 Watt 50/50 bulbs, but I've thought I would go to something different to see if I could get better growth.

Suggestions?

Look into Coralife a 96w 50/50 retro or fixture.

you can get a 70 watt halide from HelloLights.com for pretty cheap.
