    Hey every one I am setting up a big frag tank and i mean big 150 gallon! It is 96x36x12, 100 gallon sump, 72 inch 12 bulb aquaticlife t5 light, and a vortec skimmer for up to 200 gallons.
    any way my main concern is how the hell am i going to fill it? I am expecting to take a year to fill.
    well my main question to this is what are my best options for coral that grow fast under 2 150 watt MH. I would like to frag as much as posible without killing my colonie. Now all i have is 3 kinds of zoas, frog spawn, torch coral, hammer coral, candy cane, and huge flower pot over 60 polips. let me know what you guys think if you were in my position.
    thanks

    well GSPs green star polyps are really quick growers and are really cheap honestly they may even become a neusense but I like them. you should get a big tridacnia clam it would look great like a squamosa

    If your going BB I wouldn't get a Wrasse. Most like to sleep buried in the sand. Most LPS will grow quickly if you feed them regularly :)

    Softies. Seems like any softie I add to my tank grows like a weed, but I do run skimmerless which I believe contributes to their growth.
