help with picking corals

[bazza1979]

hi ...
after being successful in keeping fish in my 50g tank i have upgraded to a 120g tank all fish are in now and happy.... water parameters are all good to !!! with the new tank i have also upgraded lighting to a arcadia x4 bulb t5 unit hanging from celling and is approx 4inches from top of water..... now i want to start and keep some corals just need advice on corals that are easy to keep and names of them really love the look of the green tip tourch corals but not 100% on what they require thats why i am asking advice would rather know if it will live in my tank instead of killing it !!!!!

Beginner corals would be leathers, mushrooms, kenya trees, and zoanthids, as well as some brain corals as long as water parameters are stable

You are probably going to need to upgrade your lighting if you want to keep any thing other than soft corals.

Yep, after reading your other post about lighting, you can scratch brain corals off my list above - and even some high light soft corals may be difficult to keep with those lights hung so high above the tank
