    Hmhmhmhm Bloodkips idea is great. Except it's not exactly easy to take care of.
    Please hold while I conjure up an appropriate answer...

    tbh, any coral is easy to take care if you read on it before you buy it, it's just like buying a fish. If you think you can take care hard coral, then you can.

    lol ok u do that. the neon pineapple looks really nice but it needs frequent feeding and I'm a very lazy S.O.B. so yeah XD and the other blue coral looks really nice too. I'm just worried about water flow; I have a few powerheads and the return pump which provides decent flow but should I really be worried about that?

    What's the GPH of all pumps? My tank has 35x turnover rate.

    Well the only things im worried about are dosing like iodine and strontium and stuff and waterflow; I've got the biocube lights which are good for corals already (29 gallon biocube by Oceanic) and I'm using reef crystals and have salinity at 1.026 with all other parameters in check. I was told that with reef crystals I really only had to do water changes so I guess that settles that so should I really be worried about anything else?

    I wouldn't. You don't need it directly in the path of strong flow. If you want to, there's always the option of a Biocube or Koralia powerhead. As long as theres water movement that you can feel significantly, I'd think it'd be a safe bet.

    If you don't want to dose stuff, go oceanic, it's cheaper also. I never dose. Water changes will keep things in check.
