Hey, I was thinking of getting two corals-- right now all I have in there is some polyps and those are absolutely fine. These are the lights I have ---http://www.shopping.com/xPO-CURRENT-USA-INC-Current-USA-Nova-Extreme-T5HO-X2-10K-460nm-Actinic-Saltwater-30-2x24W-1137

Here are the two corals I'm thinking about getting-- to my understanding they both flourish better in higher lighting but my lights should be adequate for them and they should adjust.

What do you guys think, will these things be alright in my tank. From what I've read they are both relatively hardy!

Thanks a ton for any help!!!
 
Is there anything I need to do to prepare for these corals? Other than the lighting I don't really have much for them. I know that my calcium is suppossed to be in check-- is there anything other than that?

I would check all water parameter's, and make sure you have a good 2 part calcium and alkalinity supplement. Also I would ask what kind of lighting he had coral's under and what kinda water movement as well then build from that so you know where to place the coral and what lighting it was use to or under for placement in tank.
