Hello Ray and welcome to Frag Outpost.
It sounds like you are off to a pretty good start with your tank. After 3 months of cycling your tank you should be ready to start adding some frags. Have you tested your Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate levels?
Good beginner corals include mushrooms & ricordea, zoanthids, and most soft corals like xenia, leather corals, green star polyps, sarcophyton (toadstools) sinularia, nepthea (kenya tree), colt coral, clove polyps, anthelia, and sea fans.
I would remove the bio balls from the wet dry as the bio balls will promote the growth of aerobic bacteria which will increase the level of nitrates. Most soft corals don't mind slightly elevated nitrate levels and some actually prefer a nutrient rich environment, but the bio balls will cause the nitrate to exceed desired levels.
If you eventually decide to try more difficult corals then I would recommend increasing the amount of light for your tank.
Are you growing any macroalgae in your refugium?
Good luck with your tank.
How is the livestock selection at the local fish stores in Puerto Rico?
