And if you want to read more about what people said to me about starting corals, check out my show off your fish tanks thread.

 

Thanks!. I just finished reading your threads Pretty sure I gathered that all from it.

The lfs We go to has frags for 10$... right now last i checked... So i figured Id like to give one or two a try

 

Definitely do it! After I find some cheap ones I'm going to give it a try too. Why not?! Good luck! Make sure to post what you get!

 

Knowing my luck they will be out of all the ones listed LOL... and ill get stuck with nothing . I dont wanna suicide any corals, Hence figuring out what I need to adjust.

 

I'm keeping my tank vibrant and growing with PC's. Granted it's only a 29g, but don't be fooled into the new wave attitude of needing wattage that would rival the sun. It's all about placement, IMO

 

Awesome ... Makes me feel a tad better if thats the case!

Im just in love with this one

Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Acanthastrea lordhowensis

 

zoas gsp or maybe some xenias will do fine, try to place them towards the top of the tank...

zoas and gsp are point and shoot corals... they will always look better and grow faster under brighter light but what you have they'll do fine.

soft corals aren't rocket science, in fact they are easier to take care of than fish. they tolerate unstable water pretty well, pretty hard to kill to be honest.

yeah and watts per gallon is really irrelevant... its about how bright the light is as it hits the coral... if you want tank full of coral from top to bottom then yeah it matters, but if you just are getting started make sure they are at the top of the tank an you'll be fine.
