New 40 gallon frag tank grow out system

[fuzzybob4]

I recently got my hands on a 40 gallon breeder that was a turtle tank, but now I'm going to tun it into a frag grow out system.
The dimensions for the tank that can be filled with water is 36"L X 18" W X 8" H


I'm trying to figure out what light, filter and power head flow.
MY girlfriend suggested that I put the same light that I have on my 70 gallon.
witch is
4x T5HO 36" JBJ light w/ three led moon lights
2X 10k
2x420 actinic bulbs


but what do you guys think?

Smart girl, if you use the same lighting system, you do not have to worry as much about light acclimation if you have to move corals around between tanks.

[fuzzybob4]

Well the corals that im getting are from wholesales, most likely running t5ho or gone to led because they last a long time.
And I'm almost out of room in my 70 gallon to move corals to their, but I have led on my 15 gallon

[footballdude2k3]

Right, but if you want to move them into your other tank, they are already used to that lighting. So there would be a smooth transition, if these are not going into the other tank, then it really does not matter.

Of corse they would be grown to be sold. So I want them to be good color as well as get good growth

I'm looking at going with some kind of t5ho fixture or
Reef Breeders Controllable Series Programming Instructions,or a sunbright LED.

Finnex 36" LED/T5HO Combo Aluminum Light Fixture
I might try this fixture it would give good growth as well as color.
