FOWLR Lighting Questions...

Hi Guys and Gals,

At the moment I have LR in my tank, along with hermit crabs, Astrea snails, and Emerald Crabs. Eventually I am going to want to put some soft corals into my tank (Tanks been up for 2 months will probably wait a couple more months before adding my first Coral). I have pc lighting at 2x96. I want to add some fish in the next couple of days. First question, How long should I run my lighting for ? Second question: What fish do you recommend getting first ?

PC's are fine for LPS and Softies, but you need to swap bulbs about every 6 months, (they wont burn out, but still need replaced?)

What size tank? what kind of fish do you want? No real order, but start w/ least aggresive and go forward.
