Say I wanted to set up a frag tank and plumb it into my display. Would it be better to run the same type of lighting over the frag tank as i do the display? I only ask because I run a 6 bulb t5 with reef brites and an easier option for a smaller frag tank would be leds (in my option). Thoughts on this?? I would also like to play around with some of the new led options. I know everything is capable of awesome growth and coloration but would cutting a frag and putting it into a frag tank with different lighting shock it even more? 99% of my frags would be sticks. Thanks in advance for all advice!

If moving corals from one to the other. Having the same lighting will make acclimation easier.
