I am looking for some lower light corals that I could get started with - I am sick of looking at rock! Can I get some ideas that I could throw in the tank that will also be good when I upgrade my lights in a couple months. Right now my LUX is ~15,000 at the surface. Tank is a 40 breeder.
Give me some suggestions...

Led?
If its a decent t5 is not really that low. But look a lepto's, cyphasteria, stylos and birdsnest higher up. I had really good luck with blasto merletti's. And most shrooms.
a note. divide lux by 40 and 50 for a decent t5 to get a basic idea of par.
An ATI tube on a good ballast gave me 30,000 to 40,000 measured at about 8 inches.
Ive sust never been a leather guy. The ones I have had were higher light or at least would take higher light.
Im also a big fan of liveaquaria. the specs and needs listed for coral are pretty good...
Also I have a Pink gorgonian that will def do low light. the one I forgot in the sump for 4 months actually grew pretty well.
keep in mind you prob in the 150 par range in the middle of the tank, thats def zoa paly territory...CLove polyps on the sand too.
true. I have some I need to get rid of as we speak.
