Hey guys! I have a 105 gallon softie tank. I’ve finished adding all my fish stock. Now I want to start getting into LPS corals.
I currently have a 40 gallon quarantine which I’m running cuprisorb in at the moment to get rid of all the copper. I want to start quarantining LPS in here for 30 days (I know 76, but that’s too long so 30 is my compromise if I’m buying from a tank without fish that have signs of ich).
What lighting will be sufficient? I don’t have any at the moment because it was for fish so I just used sunlight through the window. Can I just use a $7 desk lamp from the hardware store? Will that be ok for LPS for a month?
Thanks for your advice
