i am kinda new to this and i hae a 95 gal w/sump box, water is perfect and i am wanting to stock full of live rock and coral but not sure if lighting is enough. I have 2 10,000 K 48" floresents and one 03 blue. these are all directly on the top of the tank. Tank is very bright just not sure if it is enough for coral, if so what kind is a good starter. thanks for any help.

First off what type of corals do you want to keep?

Secondly livestock do you currently have now?

And what are the dimensions of your tank?

Also, do you have live rock/live sand?

How long has the tank been up & running?

as in the tank right now there are about 8 pepermint shrimp, one claner shrimp, one yellow tang and 2 yellow tale damsels, and approx. 15 snails. For what kinda coral i want to have, i am not sure. I wanted to find what kind i could keep and go from there.
