Default New To SaltWater Hobby

Hey my name is Maria but pplz call me Dot and well i currently have a 55 gallon freshwater tank and a 10 gallon SaltWater i also have another 55gallon and i am going to use it for Salt Water but we aren't going to move the 10 Gallon Salt Water To The 55 Gallon Yet. What we have currently in the SaltWater Tank is one purple tipped anenome a green kinda polyp 1 blue tang 1 clown fish. we aren't going to go overboard with the fish but we are going to try to kinda fillup the tank with some nice looking coral! we have about 20 something wats. ummm..... we just got one new light system and it made the tank turn blue so we added our old light so it could make it look real. we are trying to get metal hayes but we can't find one in our price range. any advice?

the tang is going to be moved into a 55 gallon tank in a while. and its doing very very fine. its a size of a nickel it swims really fast and chases our clown fish. it is very active and eats well.

i made an accident we have 30w, 1 antinic (15w), 1 white lamp (15w/18000k)

can we keep any other type of coral if so can u tell me which kind?

You can keep low light demanding corals like mushrooms & some leathers.
