So, I am new to corals and when I engage most people about the topic, they begin speaking to me in tongues. I don't have a strong knowledge of names of corals and how to keep, grow and maintain them as of yet. but, I'm learning....
I set up my first tank last June and, at the time, had no intention of doing coral. However, after the live rock I had bought brought in some mushroom corals and little starfish, the intrigue has grown. I have since added some basic soft corals.
So, needing advice on lighting. I have been told that lighting is everything when it comes to coral and I know that the light I have now is insufficient to grow most everything but soft corals. I would like to venture into other types of coral in the future.
So, What lights do you like and why???
 
Welcome to the dark side of the salt life.

Thank you......I am loving the adventure!
 
I'll be of no help as I run the fluval series. I'm just into leathers and softies and that's what it grows.

It's a fun hobby. Take it slow and ask a ton of questions and youll do well
