Just wondering what type of corals are good to start out with when I have around 3800 gph water movement with my powerheads an return pump? Converting my 125g predator tank into something more peaceful an colorful an was thinking bout trying my hand in some corals but afraid it will be to much or should I remove some water movement? Any thoughts or advice would be very appreciated.
 
Most corals like water movement. What kind of powerheads are you using? Do you have ones that you can adjust to different flow pluses?
 
Most of your SPS would like a large amount of flow. Look at SPS corals that inhibit the reef crests.
