    For now a mix of LPS and softies. I wanna make the jump into SPS but worried about dosing and what not. I also need to figure out lighting for it. The tank came with a 2 bulb T5 that everything is sitting under now. I acquired a 4 bulb 260 watt compact fluorescent that I'm gonna but on there, But i am assuming that won't do for SPS. So I guess halide or LED or somethin...

    What other stock would you put in there? Since you ARE the "professional"

    Do you have damsel in your tank? if so, plan to take him out, he may get aggressive towards your chromis and clowns later..BTW, nice tank.

    If you need some kenya tree, let me know. I can frag couple of them for you.

    Depending on how tall your tank is, you might want to go with metal halides. T5's work for me though, but I only have a 40 breeder that is 18" tall.
