what do you want tips/help on ?
Did the LR and LS come from your 20g also? if not you may see a cycle starting.
What type of fish are you interested in?
Most Gobies and Clowns do well in small tanks. With some exceptions.
I would do 1-2 gallons a week water changes. I currently do 3.5 gallons every other week in my 12 gallon.
With 65 watts over 10 gallons you shouldn't have much trouble keeping most corals.

QT means quarantine tank. A tank you use to put your new fish/corals in for a few weeks to make sure they are not sick. " to keep from spreading the sickness to your display tank".
If you cant afford to do add filtrations and lighting to a 2nd tank then just sick with one or the other tanks. You will have better results with corals with the 10 gallon IMO due to lighting but can add more to the 20 gallon, of course its up to what you have in mind and what you want to get out of the hobby.
