Maybe someone knows?

I was wondering if it's possible or if they even exist:
T8 Fluorescent bulbs that can grow coral.

I have a bunch of T8 fixtures laying around from previous tanks and I was wondering if I would be able to use those to provide enough light for 76 days in a coral/invert quarantine tank.

I don't really want to invest in other lights when I have these that I could possibly use. I also would rather quarantine any life going into my tank as I don't want to deal with ich again or any other disease/parasite.

Are there any links or information on a coral and invert quarantine? I have many questions...

A quick Google search turns up a bunch of results... Amazon, Petco, etc.. What size are the fixtures?

18". But will they be good enough for coral or anemone growth? I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to lighting.

I don't see why not. I see actinic and 50/50 full spectrum bulbs on Amazon.
