New at keeping corals...

Hello all! Am really excited to be back in touch with this group! It's been awhile, but you all have been so helpful over the years!

I've had a salt water tank of one type or another for over 25 years, but this is the first time I have been able to afford the right lighting, etc to try and keep corals! I am so excited!!! If anyone has any advice on what to start with, etc, , I would love your comments! Fish are expensive, but I was surprised to learn that corals tend to be MORE expensive, at least where I live. I really want to be successful! Thanks so much for your ideas and comments!!

Any kind of soft corals will due well and almost tolerate neglect. Try to find some mushrooms, leathers and some palyothas to begin. Light is crucial but also take into account of water movement and the main elements of your tank chemistry...

If you have time, check out bulk reef supply 52 weeks of reefing series. You'll find hours of knowledge packed videos
