New to Corals...suggestions needed

[Packdog]

Just upgraded my lighting on a 1 1/2 year old FOWLR tank.

T5 Aquatinic fixture.

Would like to get into corals as my parameters are good (Nitrate is the only question .... approx 15ppm right now)

What corrals would you suggest for a beginner and with my lighting ?? Want someting easy, moderate flow, and that be work well with the T5 I have.

Of course if it's easy as well as beautiful and low maintenence , that would be ideal

Please help.

Also., live in the Milwaukee area and would love a suggestion as to where to get a "beginner" corral.

What size tank and what is the wattage on the lights?


Things like Star Polyps and candycanes

Mushrooms (Ricordia and Yuma)

Kenya Tree

Zoanthids and Palythoa's

I have frags of just about everything I listed and there are others in the area that also have frags available.

Check the post by steve414 he has some frags that will work in your tank and there are some free mushrooms

LPS, mushrooms & zoos do good in a slightly dirty tank.

With those T5 lights you won't be limited as far as light goes. In fact some of the things suggested in this thread you will want to shade a little. People that have never tried T5s often see the wattage and don't realize how insanely bright they can be.

Thanks for the replies.

My tank is a 55gal and the Aquatinic is a 5 bulb with individual ice-cap relectors. Bulbs are 54watts each.
