I have a standard 30 gallon tank. Its just a normal reef tank, a few fish and i already have some corals right now. They were given to me from a friend whos been in the saltwater hobby for a while now and was getting newer better corals. Im dont really know the names of them but they are doing well and have been doing so for a while. I would like to get some more and im not sure with my lighting what i would be able to do. I would like something colorful as most of my corals are bland compared to alot of other peoples. The current lighting for my tank is a coralife power compact and my tank is about 18 inches deep with a pretty deep sand bed and about 45 pounds of live rock if not a little more. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I really dont know very much about corals other than the better the lighting the better the coral among other things like calcium levels and stuff so maybe some suggestions for some easier colorful corals that would be good in my tank. THANK YOU

There's not too many choices of corals to keep with PC lighting. Mushrooms, sun corals and sponges are about it. To keep most LPS and SPS corals you will need T5 HO, VHO Fluorescent or metal halide lighting.
