Kone that's a GOOD amount of light. With careful coral placement (low light corals near bottom and shaded, High light corals middle to high) you can have just about anything you like.

Just be careful when bringing coral from another tank as you do have a lot of light so you'll want to take the time and efforts for a proper "Light Acclimation" of them.

Start things low and move it a few inches at a times every 4 to 5 days til you get it where you want them. Slow is the name of the game
