    I like planning out my tank. I look online at others tanks, decide which corals look good together and which ones they are successfully keeping beside one another... of course I want to be a little different :p but for the most part I enjoy planning my tank - be advised this can be VERY tedious ;)

    I 2nd that.. !!!

    You are on the right track, or you wouldn't be asking these questions..

    Each coral is so different.. Even tho the same type..
    And what may grow real good in one tank.. maynot in another..

    Good Luck on your hunt.. !! Getting a new coral, seems to bring your tank more alive, each time..

    Later, Larry

    I selected my first corals in accordance to hardyness , as I belive that a mature tank is the best tank for sustaining/growing coral as for lighting it is also important for colour and growth however a stable tank is more important for sustaining thoes more fragile corals we all like to keep.
