![]() I see you have PC lighting on your system. With that kind of lighting, assuming you are not upgrading, I would recommend softies, and zoas/zoos. There is also some types of corals, such a sun coral, that are not photosynthetic, and may be of interest to you in the future.

![]() Xenia,green star polyps, most leathers, zoas, palys, mushrooms, frogspawn/hammer. MAYBE some of the less light thirsty sps such as birdsnest, digitata, if placed at the tippy top of the tank.

![]() Thank you all for the advice.
Any issues between fish and corals I should consider? |

![]() With your lighting I would go with softies. Are you planning for metal halides?

![]() Stay away from SPS corals for now. Most of these require high light (metal halides), high flow & extremely high water quality.
Softies and certain types of LPS (large polyp stonies) are well suited to reef newbie tanks since they are much more forgiving of water quality & will do well under your PC lighting.

![]() ive read that using crushed coral in a reef tank isnt a good thing, as it can trap a lot of nitrates.

![]() I agree that softies & LPS are your best bet. You may also want to include an anemone for your clown to host.
