QT for corals - lighting

scruggyj · Jul 9, 2014

I currently have 2 5watt Par30 led refugium lights not being used. Would these be enough to keep some (mostly) LPS coral in QT for 6 weeks or do I need something stronger? I was thinking just a 10 gallon tank for the QT.

You should be fine with most LPS if you have the light directly over them. What is the emitter make up ie: 5 1w LED's (3x Blue + 2x White) ???

Cheers, Todd

Yeah. I will give them a go. Don't really feel like buying anything else if I don't have to just for this temp qt. When I upgraded my tank I sold my old lights. Should have kept them . Oh well.
