Welcome to the forum. How long has your tank been set up? Is it done with the cycle? Have you tested your water?

Being new, soft corals would probably be your best bet. For them, all you'll need to do is keep up with your weekly water changes, and that'll be it.

Hello and welcome to the site...glad to have you. As long as your water parameters in intact, you can keep any soft and lps coral you like without adding anything to your water. Sps's may need supplements added to your water. The main question to determine what, if any corals can you keep is, what type of lighting do you have? :)

Cool...that should be enough light to support pretty much anything you wanna keep.

For most corals, you don't need to add any products. You should start checking calcium and magnesium though -- you may need to add calcium and magnesium supplements.

No. You don't have to "dose" anything. Alot of corals will eat the same food as your fish. Some people dose, some people don't. Some people swear by them, some people swear they don't do anything.

You should also be testing pH and alkalinity. Those are the basics.

You wanna get those Nitrates as close to 0 as possible. Nitrates can have an adverse effect on corals. Do you have a sump on your tank?

Maybe get some chaeto from Biff. She'll sell it and ship it to you. It has magical qualities.
You could also install an algae scrubber. Both of these would help lower your nitrates.

That's pretty high. Don't add anything for calcium (if you are using an additive).
