jestep Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Budget? Are you looking for a pendant style or light strips? Build my LED makes some cool strips. Reef brite tech strips are really nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmike015 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Are ecoxotic strips enough for anything in a 10 gallon tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Why does a QT tank need light? Are you growing macro in it? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsquared Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I would like to acclimate the fish to light before I throw them in the display tank and bright lights. Also, I might keep some live rock in the tank when not in use. I won't medicate the tank unless absolutely necessary. Currently, I have a piece of tonga rock covered in GSP and polyps.

rockstarwiggle Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Plus 1 on par 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I just got a PAR 38 for my QT and couldn't be happier. I'm using the tank for a coral and fish QT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Reefer Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I utilize Reef Pro Custom PAR 38 - 36 watt but they are a little pricier than some other decent quality like OC PARs around $79 for CREE XPG emitters and maybe another $10 for the dimmable version. I would not use Ecoxotic because you are just paying more for for less power and a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
