Ready to add

So, I finally have a new T5 lighting system and I want to add some new corals. My tank is up about a year and a half. Everyone seems to be doing well. I was looking for some ideas on what to start with. I only have 1 BTA. Would zoanthids be something I could get? They are so colorful. Any other suggestions, please?

 

What kind of corals are you looking for for your tank? IMO I would get colorful zoanthids, some mushrooms, a hammer or even a frogspawn, and if you want to try SPS maybe some montis.

 

You can keep all the softies you like leathers, shrooms, soft corals lps, but stay away from acros as much is possible to you do some research on their needs and what your setup can host

 

you should be able to add a lot of different things. Definitly go with some zoas, there're great. You can probably do most lps too, such as frogspawns, brains, bubbles etc. just make sure you have at least moderate lighting for these. Again, if placed properly you can have montis and a few other sps

 

You could also try a pagoda cup (turbinaria). They are very nice and would do well at the bottom of the tank out of direct flow. Frogspawn and Hammer are some of my favs as well. You can pretty much keep anything with the lighting you have. You have a good array and plenty of wattage. Just don't try a flower pot. They have a reputation of dying in about six months. IMO, all flower pots should be left in the ocean.

 

What kind of flow do you have in your tank?

 

Sorry so long to reply. Thanks for your input. I hardly know where to start. The flow in my tank is one Koralia 2, an Aquaclear 70, and some movement from the Fluval filter and the skimmer. Do you think I need more? I think I probably do. I'm very anxious to get some of the things you are all suggesting. I might start with some Zoanthids. Thanks ;D
