Quarantine Tank Lighting?

I have a 20 gallon tall tank I plan to use as a QT tank. I was wondering what type of fixture that could be used to sustain corals until I put them in the display tank. Not looking to break the bank. Thanks!

Reef breeders would be a good option

I have seen the reef breeders fixtures. I actually considered them for a frag tank. Plan on keeping a variety of sps and lps, mostly sps though.

I'd grab a 24" 4 or 6 bulb t5 unit. ATI would be great but on a budget the AquaticLife fixture should do you nicely.

I have an 8 bulb aquatic life fixture over my 125 gallon for several years. Very pleased with it. Just saw a website where the 24" has dropped from $260 to $170. Sounds like a steal!
