Nano LPS

My ten gallon FOWLR has been set-up for around a year, and now that I have a 48 watt T5 HO fixture, I want to buy some LPS corals. Which corals would you guys recommend?

I would do zoos . Mushrooms . Rics , stay away from brains i think in a ten gal will out grow tank fast .it also depends on how ur rock work is too . U have alot of sand bed ?

Yea your not big enough for stoneys. Stick with soft coral. Reason being u will have trouble keeping up with the trace elements needed like calcium.

Cant do much but add 1 fish and a few corals but will be great practice...

You can easily do LPS in a tank that size. Get a nice 2-part and dose everyday and you will be fine. Look into frogspawn, hammer, torch, brain, fox, acans etc.

Dont believe me, then look here...(7th post down)

Thanks! I was going to stick with LPS in the beginning, knowing that SPS would be a hassle. My sandbed is around 2' deep, and I have around 8 pounds of live rock.
