Apropriate lighting...

[StingrayKid]

Well, I just got my new lighting system for my Nano reef. HERE is the lighting I'm using now. What coral options am I looking at with this? I'd like to get some corals this weekend if the lighting prohibits it.

I would say any soft coral.
FOr a nano i would recomend Zooanthids, starpolyps, mushroom polyps and anything similar.

 

[StingrayKid]

Great. I really like the Mushroom polyps so I think I'll get one of those to start of with. Thanks.

Navarre is spot on for types of corals.

I just want to add using some caution and good judgement. Some shopowners keep mushroooms under bright halides, while others have them flourishing under lower wattage lamps. Shoot for the lower light kept variety. They will acclimitize faster to your tank conditions.

Agreed. I have had mushroom that are kept in halides yet i had all sorts of problems trying to adjust them to a lower light level.

Yeah they did have it under a lower lighting system. My lighting isnt that high, but it seems to be doing fine.
