    There's an SPS/LPS QT tank stocked to the limits already as well as softy/zoanthid QT tank almost as stuffed. I think we're going the SPS/LPS route to take advantage of the Starphire glass so these few frags won't be alone.

    Very nice, the superman mushroom is really cool. I will be interested to see how the Gomezi does. I really like the Valida and the Plana. I have never had a Plana, they are stunning colonies.

    There's a couple in there (plus in the QT tank) that I really have to plan ahead for in terms of placement and in aquascaping. As you know, with SPS, one can't just "plant" a coral anywhere. If you put all tabling corals at the top, the ones at the bottom won't get light. I'm sure you've heard of my saying once or twice.....the most dangerous coral in the world is the hand and arm coral. I like to set it and forget it. There are a myriad of situations where one has to intervene. I'm not saying, never put your hand or arm into a tank.....but I can promise you, the less you do, the better your tank will be.

    I agree 100%, the less messing and moving you do, the better things the corals do. My mistake is the RP up top witch is now shading a portion of the tank witch makes that area not ideal for anything else, but live and learn. Next time all tabling acropora go on the bottom. Did you guys decide on the lighting system yet? Going to use some LED?
