| My First Coral??? Please Help!!! I have a 46 gal. Bow front tank with a 20 gal sump/refuge. I have two Maxi-jet 900's for flow in the tank. My Aqua C Urchin protein skimmer is powered by a mag 3 pump. I have another mag 3 to return the water from the sump/refuge. The tank itself has 80lbs of indo pacific sand and about 50 lbs of live rock. I have a 6-bulb T5 set up that puts out 234 watts (about 5.1 Watts per gallon) I have a banded coral shrimp and 5 green chromis so far along with snails and hermits to clean up. I have not done a ton of research into corals as I’m just getting ready to buy my first one... Id like something that is not to hard to keep and care for as well as something that will add color and charm to my tank. I do plan on getting two Clown fish and an anemone, so I’m wondering if I should just get one of those to start. I never remember which is the easier of the two to keep… LPS or SPS??? Thanks for all your help and I look forward to researching your recommendations. If you would like to know anything else about my system just ask.. Thanks Again!!!
