    yeah, kenya trees are probably one of the easiest corals to care for.

    i am also wondering how well i could grow coral son the sandbed? such as a open brain or something.
    also what sps would you guys suggest for up top, i want to get a small monti frag maybe a couple different varieties of that and a blue birdsnest frag.

    montipora caps are my favorite, then branching, then encrusting, then acropora...the list goes on....

    i have had larger tanks since i was 14, i prefer the nanos they are much cheaper.

    in a nano 200 dollars worth of coral will fill it up in no time, even in a 20 gallon tank 200 dollars worth of coral it would still look empty.

    right now i have 3 tanks in my room that are all under 5 gallons and they are doing great. its just something about having such a tiny tank with so many living things in it, seeing the same old large tanks just doesnt impress me anymore but when i see a nice nano its quite the opposite.

    i am thinking to get some different rocks for the tank, i was suggested marco rocks from the lfs because they dont carry live rock. what do you guys think? i know you can order nano rocks that are smaller than all the others.
