Lighting for an sps quarantine tank?

[eaguialr]

hi guys
i am going to be upgrading my 50 gallon sps tank to a potential 100-120 gallon tank.
i dont want to sale my live stock but i have 3 10 gallon tanks that i have for quarantine i figured i can keep my live stock in these tanks till i get the new tank up and cycled. also the downside is that the deal with my wife was that i had to sale my current tank before getting the new tank to help pay for the new tank. So my question is what do you guys think about this idea also what lighting do you guys recommend for a small 10 gallon tank that will keep my sps happy?

thanks

I think that's going to be next to impossible to pull off successfully with multiple 10 gallon tanks. Youd be better off picking up a large Rubbermaid for $10-15. You'll need the larger water volume to deal with water chemistry parameters, temp fluctuations, etc. An old skimmer, a few korallias, an old 4 bulb T5 fixture, and a heater, and you should be set for a few weeks.. just make sure to keep up on water changes.. ive moved plenty of tanks and keep old stock tubs around just for this reason. just my .02.
