Hey Scar,

For soft corals, you should be fine and really not needing anything else but good water changes, using a salt like Instant Ocean or H2O. Also the lights should be great.

Just have the necessary test kits avalaible to make sure of the following:

- Calcium - 400-450
- DKH - 9-11
- Nitrates - of course as low as possible
- Ammonia - again, as low as possible
- Use a refractometer for measuring your salt - 1.023 - 1.026
- Temp - 78-80 F

I hope this helps
