QT Tank Lighting Help

[layer3switchguy]

Hey guys,

I plan to setup a QT tank for fish and corals and need some help with regards to lighting. I plan to hold SPS corals, and not sure what fixtures would work for say a 10g or 20g tank. Also, should I go PC, T5 or MH. If so, what wattage?

Any advice is really appreciated...

I'm using a 19 watt/80 watt PC. Same one as Melev uses on his sumps. I also use it on my sump.

If you're going to hold sps, I think you need to match what's in the display. Since you are using 150w MH I would prob go with a pendant in the 150w, no accimation would be needed when you transfer and no harm to the coral cause of not enough light when in QT. Make sense?
