low light coral recommendations?
i have been keeping salt water fish for about a year and a half now and i really want to start a reef but i dont have hundreds of dollars to spend on lighting. i have a 120 gallon tank with 65 gallon sump. i have 108 watts of T5 right now which i know is pretty much nothing. i am willing to spend up to about 150 dollars for extra lighting in addition to my T5s. i am really hoping to get metal halides. right now im just looking into soft corals. i have read that they are good for beginners and dont require as much light. i read that they prefer about 3-5 watts per gallon. is this correct?
i also dont want corals that like to be on the substrate because i have a dragon wrasse so he is always flinging sand around and will most likely fling the corals too. i am planning to glue the corals to my live rock so he cant fling them like he does everything else in my tank.
so any lighting or coral recommendations would be great. thanks!
here is a link to a website who sells corals and other stuff but has the requirements and other information on it- http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=597
