    If you have the go ahead by the light guru's, if you can support softies, you can probably grow most kinds of Zoanthid and Palythoa.

    Or were you talking LPS, SPS?

    Well I've been busy for awhile, but I'm gonna try to start updating this thread again.

    Yesterday I went and purchased my first corals. I believe these are zoanthids? Half of them are open and seem to be doing fine, but the green~yellowish ones still haven't opened. Is this normal?

    I also purchased a power head, The Hydor Koralia 250 I believe. It seems to be producing a lot of flow, and I'm worried I'm stressing my clown. Is this fine or should I be worried?

    Hey good to see you here - does the clown hang out in one place all day?

    Not really, he spends a lot of time in the back left corner but swims around a good bit during the day.

    Just my opinion but thepowerhead is too much, I think you would be better with something like a Tunze 106

    As for keeping corals anyone I know who has had the Edge have upgraded the lights.
    And to be honest I am not keen on seeing marine fish in this size tank, I am sure plenty will disagree but I think they are great for inverts and corals and when done right can look amazing so keep it up because these things can crash in a heartbeat if you take your eye off it.
    Like I say, just my opinions :)

    I will look into the Tunze. I know my lighting needs upgrading, I just need to come up with some $$$.

    Is that your edge?
