Which corals?????

[trigger05]

I recently upgraded my lighting to 2x96 powercompacts on a 25 gallon 16" deep. So its time to add corals!! What type of corals do you recomend under this lighting?

I'd go with some Ricordea floridas, as they're fairly hardy. Some of them are quite beautiful too. Try some zoanthids as well.

Mushrooms are fairly hardy too. You have a relatively high amount of wattage for a 25. You could PROBABLY keep some LPS as well as maybe some hydrophora. You will have to do some research though as well as to what you FEEL you can take care of. Some corals are very picky about their water quality which may require frequent water changes and calcium and magnesium supplementation. Also stay from anemones right now as well as too many toxic releasing corals. Your Fluval 104 might not be able to keep up. I personally use the 205 on my 20.

i'd go for shrooms, zoa's, leathers, stuff like that. once you get some more experience, then wander into the world of LPS and SPS.
