Sounds like you’re wanting euphyllia. Hammers, torches, frogspawn, Octospawn, that kind of thing. Elegance are also good choices and so are anemones.

 

[PicassoClown04]

Yes, ATO senses when the tank needs more water and pumps exactly enough in to keep the tank full

 

[Snapazonie]

ohh so its basically like another reservoir that houses extra water that slowing dispenses into the aquarium?

one last question plz..this 47 gallon i built..im gonna run a fluval 207 canister and a fluval 50 hob..is that gonna be enough filtration?

Pics of the tank? Probably okay, but that depends on what fish/inverts/other livestock you have. Coral should be okay with just that

If you’re adding a sump, skip the HOB and canister, they’ll just be added hassle. The beauty of having a sump is that you can hide all of the equipment in it, so put your protein skimmer down there, as well as heaters, sensors, etc. if your doing a sump anyways, measure out how much room you need for stuff like your skimmer and return pump and then try to maximize how much space you can give to your fuge.

Check out my build thread and you can kind of see how I did mine. I used a 29 for my sump. I can also grab some current pics tomorrow if you’d like.
