Quarintine tank lighting question

[kipper1012]

Ok guys so I am ready to start adding dome coral to my tank and right now all I want is mushrooms,frogspan, zoanthids etc

I am really not looking to spend anymore money as I just got led's for my 180

I already have a coallife 23watt 20" compact fluorescent fixture now with 10k bulbs would that be sufficient lighting for a 10gallon tank for 8 weeks

thanks

To QT corals ..... or fish? If the latter then light quality is not important, just enough to give the fish day/night reference. If corals, thens something better. I use a par38 LED bulb.

Sorry I should have been more clear I am looking to quarintine corals

If you're talking softies, LPS and zoos, then your current light will probably suffice for the QT period. For SPS or clams probably not.

Yes that's all I'm looking for right now

I just wanted to make sure I would not kill them in the 8 weeks in my qt tank with not enough light.
