New Tank

[jdrex]

just got a new 72 gallon bow front tank. i want to put some corals in there but am not sure what to do. I have a 260 watt pc light with 4x65 watt 10,000K lights, and 1 40W flourescent blue 03 actinic light. I have 3 maxijet 1200 power heads for water movement and an AquaC Remora Pro Skimmer. I have an emperor 400 filter and a hang on refugium.
I was just wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions of different corals that I could support in my system. Thanks

Depends on how long the tank has been set up, how much live rock you have in there etc. Once established I would start out with something easy like some type of mushrooms, then some zooanthids and then try a frogspawn or hammer. It all depends on what type of reef you are going with really. Stay away from the harder to keep corals such as acropora, flower pot, elegance, organ pipe etc.

I have about 60 lbs of live rock in my system. I have about 45 lbs of rock set up one side, some open space and about 15 lbs on the opposite side. The tank has been up and running for about 2 months now. my live stock consists of:
1 yellow tang
1 hippo tang
1 coral beauty
1 royal gramma
2 clown
2 lawnmower blennys
2 damsels
I appologize since I am new to coral keeping, but I was wondering what kind of additives I will need to add to my tank if there are any.
As for the corals, I want ones that have the "anenome" look. Lots of bright colors, I beleive that I do like the zoos. But any other suggestions would be appreciated.
