![]() Nice looking tank, I think you could add many sps that will hold colour in your tank. The top of my tank is reserved for sps and clams bottom is softies and Lps. I am huge on Lps and softies aswel and have a huge collection of all 3. The often info given about sps and no nutrient or low nutrient scares people off but I have had my phosphates really high and also low. I now gauge my tank on how my Lps look. The colours of sps can be tweaked later but if you stick with nice coloured pieces from the start like hot pink Millepora, neon green stags or slimers and other simple pieces you won't have a problem with them colouring down. Lookingnat your pic below something red or pink would add some pop to that corner. If it was me I'd look for a red Diablo, red planet, or hot pink Millie good luck!

![]() Green slimer would give you more of the growth pattern you are looking for, red planet tends to table as the colony gets larger

![]() I appreciate the input everyone. After consideration I ended up going with the forest fire digitata, green slimer and hawkins echinata. Shipment came in yesterday and they all seem to be doing well so far - fingers crossed! I'll update if any of them die or do exceedingly well.

![]() I will certainly do so, I always find it much more interesting to follow a thread with pictures. Currently keeping the frags in about 100-150 PAR on my frag rack. I included some pictures of them below and I forgot to add that they were ordered from FragGarage - very happy with their service. The forest fire digi, hawkins and orange setosa are my favourites so far. Over the next two weeks I'll decide where to try and place them first then xpoxy / glue them into position. Do you have any advice as to what sort of intensity and flow to keep each in? The birdsnest circled above is getting ~300 PAR, the zoanthids and clam on the center rock ~250 PAR, and the rock in the back left which I've since cleared receives about ~180 PAR.
