Lighting question

[jeanietn]

I have a 55 gal. saltwater tank with a sump, P1000 trickle filter I use cemi-pure filter and poly filter (Eim series siphon box). An Aquapure filter and a bubble magus nac 5 skimmer. Lighting is a 48'Glo T5 linear double fluorescent lighting system. One light 54 watt power-glo the other is 54 watt marine-glo.
Live stock:

2 yellow tailed blue damsels
1 lawn mower blemmie
1 pink cromie (he is new and doing well) Probably now spelled right
3 large snails
several nass (under the sand snails) sorry cannot think of their full name
a few blue legged crabs.

Water:
Salt 1.024 to 1.025

Whew I am going to copy this!
Now for the question
I want to start with "very easy" corals when I learn their nature I want to collect the more colorful kind.

Do I have enough light? Do I have the right kind of fish to star corals?

Thank you in advance for your help:dance:

(sorry this is so long but I knew you needed to know "some" information)

You have enough light for the low light demanding corals like mushrooms and many zoas, but not for more demanding corals. Your fish selection is fine for a mixed reef but the Cowrie may eat corals depending on the species.
Here is a good web site for easy to keep corals and another couple with a wide range of corals listing their requirements that may help you:
