Hey Waterkeeper!
Got no responses over in the general forum, so I thought I'd try here - it's a newbie kinda question anyway. Some of us just refuse to grow up.
QT lighting
the article in waterkeeper's forum on QT procedures mentions minimal lighting to keep animals alive, not necessarily growing, particularly with regard to corals. I would assume for fish the standard hood/light that come with a 10 gal. would be adequate. for LPS/SPS later down the line should I be looking at PC lighting or would the one I mentioned be enough for QT purposes, and then acclimate to DT light over time [1x250w MH + T5 actinic]. Don't want to spend more than needed, but want to get it right. QT is a 10 gal. by the way
