Although I do not have much to offer myself, but I would recommend to start off with some Xenia or mushrooms just to make sure that everything is alright with the system. These are relatively hardy corals so they are diffenetly good starter corals. You can get 3 different mushrooms (frags) at King Ed's for only $5 (and NO - I am not working for them nor I promote them but they do have the frags...)

Also, I wouldn't start with SPS....A quick description of your tank will help people to offer you different frags, based on their requiremnts....

hey Ron:
no worries...i know you have a lot on you plate with the frag orders. just let me know when you have some more time.

edikpok: thanks for the heads up. i already have mushrooms, zoas, and gsp...gsp grows like weed...:sad: i don't mind trying some blue pulsing xenia, but afraid they will also take over the tank...i also think what most ppl would like to know is what i have for lighting - i have 250w HQI metal halide on my nano.

Reefy: you got pm.

separate your weed corals from rocks you want unless you want a GSP-rock covered tank

I think Edikpok is referring more to the age of the tank. The longer the tank has been set up, the more stable it is. A new tank will experience diatom blooms and possibly algae blooms as well. These will create instability in water parameters and some corals are very sensitive to changes.

I have a number of corals that might interest you. Send me a PM and we can set up a convenient time for you to come and see my system.
