    Make sure that you fully bone-up on the needs of SPS coral and make sure you can provide those conditions. It's not as simple as saying I like blue and then buying them.....that could turn into a VERY expensive proposition.

    I think I have enough lighting, I have the nova extreme pro fixture with 6 T5 HO bulbs and If I put them near the power heads I think they would have enough flow.. Its going to be a while anyways, I would need to read up more on SPS. I have some that came on the rock with my tank, it seems to be doing alright

    fish supply has croceas for only $45 and they're big! blueberry gorgonians and blue mushrooms are great for adding blue to your tank as well :)

    Blueberry gorgonians have a horrible track record in reef tanks. They require lots of feeding. I had one years ago before anyone figured anything out about them. It lasted maybe a month.
