    hey everyone. I am about to start up again after tearing down my hundred ten gallon display tank. This time I want to preset up a quarantine for fish and corals. I'm going to use 20 gallon long tanks and I know they have to be on different systems but I have a question regarding the coral tank. I would like to use this as a quarantine / frag tank. What type of filtration and lighting should I set up for this tank.also any input on how to make these setups any better would be much appreciated thank you.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    What type of corals? If your going to be attempting to keep the more expensive and sensitive sps than you'll probably want a decent fixture. A 2-4 bulb T5 fixture should be fine.There are many LED options for you as well. Depends on how much you want to spend.
    Filtration, you just need a skimmer, and some mechanical filtration (sponge, floss or sock). Again depends on how complicated and expensive you want to make it for the corals types you want to keep.
