Patience. With Cash you can go out and buy tons of colonies and have your tank look stunning instantly, but in my opinion it'll never look natural. Start your tank from frags and let everything grow it - you can't fake that. When all the corals are intertwined and grown in, in my opinion, it looks stunning cause it had to happen naturally and you can't fake that look. You can't go into a store and buy an 18" colony.

Maybe not but u can go to other reefers and do it. With cash. Lol
I agree with the stability and time thing although some do grow like weeds for a hard coral.

First thing that came to my head after reading the title

The less your hand is in the tank the more stuff is going to grow

Well said Dez, I do agree with this. Most of my LPS, Softies and zoas started as frags.

Water changes. And an awesome skimmer. And low nutrients. And proper lights. And flow. That's the one thing you need for great SPS. Oh, and luck.
