lakshwadeep Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 What lights do you have? I would say mushrooms and zoanthids are great beginners' corals. Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Mushrooms are good. Leather corals, most other soft corals are also good. Link to comment
fuzzyfishy44 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 i have the "Coralife 30" Aqualight- 2 X 65 Watt Power Compact Straight Pin" for lighting right now and i was hoping you would say mushrooms or zoas, yay Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 You can keep soft corals, many LPS and some less light-hungry SPS like plating montiporas (the so-called "montipora capricornis"). Start with the softies first and add the stonies when the tank parameters are good (0 ammonia/nitrites, <10 ppm nitrates) Link to comment
