Going to my LFS tomrow, what to get?

[blackjacktang]

ok, so now that i have my T5 (thanks to meowzer) i can get some good size corals in that 28g tank. But IDK what to put in there yet so I need all your input! I have $160 to spend on a few things.
I NEED stuff for my refugium like rock and chaeto witch will knock off about $15. Then ill filly my 5 gallon jug with RO water witch will be $2.50 and my 2 gallon jug with satlwater with will be $2.50. So $20 off so thats $140 for corals and stuff.
Im thinking right now at softies and LPS, MAYBE sps. Not sure yet. Possibly an anenome.
I have a T5HO 4x24w Bulb fixture on my 28g tank.
What do you all think?

 

[al&burke]

Do you have any corals at all.

 

[blackjacktang]

I have a kenya frag and zoa frag in the 28g tank. And xenia and shrooms in my 3g pico

Faves
Neon Green Trumpet Coral also called Kryptonite Candy Cane (Caulastrea curvata)
Moon Favia Brain Coral (Favia sp.)

Favias, Chalices, and of course orange acans.
You also can't go wrong w/ high end zoos.
I would do zoas, chalices, acans, maybe 1-2 favias.
2 emerald crabs.

for the 28G I would get a frogspawn, and a leather...if you get an anemone I would look into the mini ones...ricordia is really nice too...I would wait a little longer for sps...
for the 3G you have to be a lot more picky.....what lights are on the 3G???
