Lighting

[FrozenSeas]

Hi I would like to get some zoos for my reef tank but I would have to put them into quarantine for 4 weeks or so and I'm worried the lighting on my QT tank is not strong enough to keep them there that long, I have 2 20watt tubes one atinic and one 10'000 k power glo. What do you think. Also what kind of water flow should I have.

Thanks

It will be going into a 40gl QT then into a 150gl mixed reef I'm just concerned about the lighting in the QT will they make 4 weeks or more with that lighting

LOL my wife would kill me if I started up another QT I have a 20gl tall QT also but it only has a 18wt reef sun tube over it. I just spent over $6000 on the 150 so I'm having a hard time squeezing any more cash for equipment from the budget. I would like to start spending what I have on the inhabitants. I had to go big on the QT so as not to put more stress on the larger fish i will be putting into the 150 as they will have to spend at least 6 wks in QT. Do you think zoos will make it with the lighting I have on the 40 maybe I could place them high on the liverock closer to the lights. I have close to 900wts on the 150
