Hard corals

[whackamole]

I have a 29 gallon tank. The dimensions are 36x14x12.
I have a 36inch pc light with 192 watt output w/ 6 lunar lights, if any, what hard corals can I keep in the tank if i keep them high up or wherever it needs to be. Also what about clams. One more thing, before u buy a coral it says light needs: low, medium or high. What would this fall under? thanxs for all your helps

I wouldn't keep a clam in there.

Also what do you mean for hard corals?

Like do i have chance with a monti. if kept high up in the tank. because my magazine says they need moderate to high lighting and 5 watts per gallon would work. ( a certain docter)

Watts per gallon is a misleading measurement. You can keep some montis, but they will be pretty brown. I would stick to LPS and softies....

 

[crox]

Definately no. You cannot keep any clams or SPS with your pc's.

O.k thanks i kinda figured that but unfortuanly im probaly going to try a monti and pray anyway. So you say that lps will work?

 

[bang guy]

LPS would be a better bet. IMO you could try Orange or Green Montipora digitata or an Orange Montipora capricornus.
Waterflow is very important for SPS.

Thank you everyone. The monti caps is what i really wanted. Just need one to thribe and ill smile ear to ear :joy:

I do have alot of water flow because i hate the corals just sittin still. to me it makes them look dead so i have like a huge pump in there and can turn it up or down when needed. Looks like i bought something right.( i think anyway i know someone will have a negative comment) but thats ok i learn from it : )
