Setting Up Coral QT Tank

[snake42490]

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to set up a QT for just Corals.. What size do you think would be best to do this? I have 10 20 and 30 gallon tanks sitting around. I was planning on using my 20 L for the incoming corals. Anyway, my biggest question is could someone point me in a direction for a light to put on that tank?

Ideally your lighting should match your DT lighting as close as possible. At a minimum I would try to match the PAR readings in the QT with the location you would like to place your new corals. LED lighting is great for this as you can ramp up or down the intensity of the lighting to match the DT. You can raise or lower the QT lighting if you are running MH or T-5's to match your QT lighting. The 20 gallon tank is fine and has enough volume for stability, although you can cram a lot of corals into a 10 gallon tank if you want to save space
