I knew I forgot to add something to my list. I have a CoraLife 36" T-5 w/ 10,000K Daylight and true actinic blue florescent. I believe this is enough for my anenome because it's gotten really big since I bought it.

You're right about choosing the type of tank. I really have no idea what route I want to go. Right now I dont' have the money to buy some really good lights, but I'd like to keep some coral's in the tank besides my colt coral.

In general, most newbies start with softies, because they're easier to keep & they need less light & can withstand lower water quality than LPS or SPS. Zoos & mushrooms & leathers fall in this category. Fiji Yellow leathers are the exception & need high light or they turn brown. Start with some frags from local reefers & that'll keep the cost down & improve your chances, as well as keep you from risking the life of more expensive, harder to keep wild harvested corals.
