YES GREAT advice REEFERs!
Trade/remove chippy star, he trouble,,,,has an awkward look about him....
Only pacific anemones are symbiotic with clowns....why because clowns only live in the pacific.....condys, are atlantic/carribean......
As a whole stay away from anemones untill you are experienced art reefing....UNLESS you want a flower anemone....these things are colorful and tuff! Low light...very very hardy....sting pretty good!
Will my clownfish host in one?? He better hope not, or he will end up like ol chippy!! LOL
If you want clowns....please do get em...their GREAT! if ya want a host.....go for green star poylps.....they love em...even more than anemones sometimes......sacrophytons also work....they may like xenia...but I seriously doubt the xenia will like them....
Your lights....well a little something you won't read many places.....PC lights are TERRIBLE! IMO
They work great on macroalgea refugiums, and xenia! Will grow most softies well to.....enough watts, MORE than you got will also (with many other things like good circulation) grow many hard corals, sps...but youy will have a tank full of beautiful...well....maybe neat shape, but not neat color....
In other words sps (not all) turn BROWN under pc....but hey you got good starter lights I used regular 40 watters for years...
My lighting advice......Halides are great!
I still really love VHO!!!!! I still use VHO with my x3 250 watt halides, with 14K bulbs.....URI is a great brand!
ICECAP awsome to....but I always vote electronic ballasts either way.
So can I have starter corals....????? WEll YES If you water and other things are ok...you asked a good question about lighting but thats just 1 of many variables.....ALL reefers do screw up though...heck I've lost thousands of dollars reefing, but I learned, I now have over 100 kinds of corals...I now have a 180 gallon all SPSa/clams reef....so keep studing!
Please tell us all a little more about your system....will help give better advice!
Thanks for asking Reefer!!!!
