Coral QT and lights

[Zbreefer]

Who out there is QT'ing their new corals, and what lighting do you have on your QT? I'd like to QT anything wet, but can't figure out a cost effective solution for lighting that will keep corals happy in QT.

Thanks, ZB

I have simply used a 100 watt 6500K CFL bulb in a shop light with good results. I'm assuming that your QT tank is a smaller tank.

It is smaller, a 20g long. I plan to leave the corals in QT for 72 days. I am using the shop light with the bulb you describe for my refugium. I wasn't sure if a similar setup would be effective for corals. Anyone else have thoughts?
