    SPS love flow. My 75 gallon will have 2x tunze 6065's(1700gph each) and an mp40(800-3000gph) plus my return (500gph).

    Id like to suggest a pink birdsnest as your 1st SPS coral and see how that goes
    it will be fine with your flow at 60 X and IMO a great looking coral

    Thats a nice looking coral, thanks steve. How much do you think a birdsnest of that size would cost at an average priced lfs (no amazing deals). What about a frag?

    thanks again for the suggestion. always appreciated

    It sounds good to me generally speaking but I think giving it a little longer to settle in is a good idea. Just be aware that montipora can get really big and can grow quite fast when conditions are good and it might start shading other corals, just be careful with your placement and get ready to frag. :)
