I'm a lil torn with what types of corals I'd like to set up in my new 90 gal reef tank. Its a fully established tank with minimal fish (small hippo tang, some gobies, royal gramma), some super great looking live rock covered in coraline( about 125# of it) and misc snails and hermit crabs. It already comes with a lobed red brain, branch of soft finger leather coral and gorgian. The tank is like I said a 90 gallon tank with a sump etc.., protein skimmer, built in overflow with return, 2 Koralia wave maker pumps hooked into a Tunze Multicontroller along with the lights, 2x 175watt metal halides with 2x 60watt vho t12's (one 10k and 1 actinic). When I went to look at it, everything was sooo clear and nice looking, super healthy with good color. THis weekend I'll be picking it up and moving it to my place and I've had reef tanks before. I just moved here from Ohio and had to leave my old reef tank behind. It has all soft corals and mushrooms. I like soft corals but I'd like to mix it up a lil bit. SOO I was wondering, what are some suggestions about the types of corals would be really nice in my tank. I was trying to think about mixing soft corals and hard corals. I know they sting eachother and the soft corals would have to be down flow from the hard corals and have their space but is there anything I can do that would look really good. Maybe put the acropora up on top and some monti with some other hard coral below, then some zoes and mushrooms below that with some soft corals at the bottom, maybe some clams and plate coral or anemones.. idk yet. Help me out please lol. thank you!!
