I currently run an AI Hydra 32 on an IM Nuvo 25 Lagoon. I'm wanting to start looking at corals to add, but plan on doing a QT of them in a 10 gallon Petco tank before adding them to the DT. I know I will need a light for them to be happy for the full QT time length, but what I'm wondering is there a light you would recommend that I could use to QT now, but down the road use to do a Refugium in one of the back chambers of the AIO?

A light that is small enough to spread only into the back chamber of the AIO isn't going to provide much coverage for the QT tank. Still, a light with good spread for the qt might be fitted with a shade to work what you are after?
