Default new tank

give your tank some time to break in.
then start slow.
you need mh,s for sps as well as good flow.
not to sound like a d**k but i would do some reading on
what you want.
make a list and look them up.
not a cheap game to play when you have to buy frags all the time.

I have all my lights, current and all that, I work at a fish store, what I was wondering was what other people like concerning hard corals and what they found worked and what didn't.
Thanks Super7

Default Slow Down

I'm another person who doesn't want to sound like a d**k but you need to slow down and research, research, research. I see you work at a fish store, but depending on which one that might necessarily be the best place to do research. Almost all my bad advice came from well meaning fish store employees. A Tang is too big for your tank let alone Tangs. Most Angle fish are notorious for eating coral.

I have no idea on the type of equipment you have other than the size of your tank but a tank 1 month old is not the place for any corals (especially hard). You need to finish cycling and stabilize before you even consider introducing an easy to care for soft coral (3-6 months from now IMO).

If you want to eventually have hard corals growing in the tank you will need a calcium reactor. Even if you do have one now I doubt it is dialed in perfectly after only a month.

You were having problems affording a heater and if you don't slow down and do more research you will be broke and out of the hobby in under a year.
Trust me no one here wants that as the more people in the hobby the more people to trade frags with.

Remember the Ocean wasn't created in a month!

Good luck

How long has the tank been up now? There are some hardy corals you can place, like green star polyps and some leathers. LPS and SPS are a bit tricky though especially if the tank is new. you tank will probably go through an algae cycle which is not good for SPS. What kind of lights do you ahve right now?

Little over a month all LR was cured except 5 out of 40 Lbs. Also I am not planning on putting Hard corals in now but later want to see what other people like so I can narrow my search down before I start then get my boss to get them in takes a while.
Thanks Super7

Heres my setup I have a 150W halide, two highoutput atinics at 24w each and I am going to make a CA reactor. I also have a 20G sump with a little giant pump pumping 1000G roughly. I also have a hydor koralla. I am probablly missing something.

I forgot my skimmer, It is a renora aqua c but don't think that it will be enough. What do you think.
Thanks Super7
