Thanks! Was going to wait til I got a new tank before trying the coral but I couldnt resist the temptation at my lfs! How long would you recommend I leave my lights on for to give them sufficient light?

8-12 hours it's really up to you I leave mine on from 10-7

Cool! They seem to be doing fine so far! But if you or anyone has any advice on keeping them it would be much appreciated!

Looks like some pretty hardy starters for your tank. They will do nice.

Yeah I asked my LFS to recommend me starter corals and these are the ones I picked! What should I all be testing my water for now? I just want to make sure I have all the correct tests

calcium, alkalinity, magnesium
