12 Year Old Tank New Owner with question

[stash0501]

I inherited My father-in-laws tank in Nov. and its doing well at my place. He had in it fuzzy mushrooms and leathers and nothing died in the move and I have added a Blue Xenia and some Yellow Polyps a month ago that are doing good so far. He told me that the lights need to be replaced soon so I ordered some from a LFS. My question is what kinds of other coral would do good under the 285 Watts of 3X 36" T-12 VHO's ?

How deep is the tank friend?
I can't say, but maybe someone else will give it a go for ya.

The tank is only 18" deep so I think most of the light should reach the bottom.

I don't know how big the tank is but I'm guess it's a 30 gallon since that fits the 18" depth and 36" of width.
In that case, you can probably keep just about anything provided you keep up on your lamp changes.
The tank isn't really big enough for clams and anemones, but any soft coral or SPS would probably be okay - provided you have enough flow for the latter.
