    I just redesigned the rocks in my Biocube and have so much more space and i would like to add some Corals / Plants into the tank!

    any suggestions?? Looking for plants/ coral that are native to the Florida/ Caribbean ecosystem. '

    I am looking at one plant called a Maiden's Hair Plant (Chlorodesmis sp.) Because its in Finding Nemo and the stuff looks cool and can have a lot of Small critters living/ breading/ feeding in it....

    Also looking at Sea Fans!!

    I added a few pictures i have 5 levels in the tank

    Level 1 - Bottom/ Bead
    Level 2 - Ledge
    Level 3 - Ledge 2 3" higher then Level 2 with a mini cave
    Level 4 - Drop off
    Level 5 - Top Ledge about 5 Inches from the surface

    Its kinda hard to see the levels in the pictures.

    I think i am posting to much.... lmaoo =)

    Seeing that yellow tang in there makes me cringe, hope he's heading to your larger tank soon. Since your a diver, can you get a waterproof camera down there and maybe take pictures of what you like? Then post them here and we could give you an idea of what kinds of corals would work for you.

    Is that the stock lighting (PC's, I think)?
