    I've been having lots of problems with nuisance algae in my 40g display tank to the point where I pulled it down to bare bones and turned it into a frag tank. I sold all my fish and live rock to my lfs and now I have a ton of store credit burning a hole in my pocket. I would like t consider restarting the 40g but if I do I want it be special. My 90g is going to be full blown sps so I'd like this tank to be lps and clams. Lighting is Coralife aqualight pro (150w MH and 2 65w power compacts). I need some help thinking of fish. I want this tank to be a showcase tank with some really unique (albeit expensive) fish. One I would like for sure is a Yasha goby. The rest, I don't know. Think of something awesome that would fit in a 40g breeder! Thanks 3reef!
