beginning reef ideas

[dicjones]

I have had a 75 gallon FOWLR running great for about 27 months now. I've upgraded along the way(canister filter to sump system and prizm skimmer to coralife super skimmer)and now I would like to upgrade the inhabitants. Currently living in the tank are a Bicolor Angel, Kole yellow eye tang, 7 green chromis and a regular 'ol nemo clownfish. Besides fish there are crabs, various snails and a skunk shrimp. I have had orange mushrooms since day one(hitchikers) and they have multiplied without much specific care from me.

I was wanting to add a few reef items just to add a little variety to the tank. Something simple, but interesting and wanted some opinions from people with experience. Thanks in advance!

Oh, and I have the Coralife Deluxe double linear CF at 4X65watts.

If your looking to go reef, your stocklist is ok
If you go with like Zoo's your angel may want to pick at them as it does with other similar softies

From someone not very experienced, I have a leather coral that has survived all of my trial and error and survived it quite well. With no more light per gallon than you have, it's thrived through diatome blooms, nitrate spikes, salinity changes and anemone stings. I guess it's not a super exciting coral, but it certainly is hardy.

Leathers a very good recommendation, and probably avoid polyps of any type with the angel. If you wanted an "easy" SPS, a yellow turbinaria will survive and thrive in just about anything, sadly I know this.
