I like frags as its rewarding to watch them grow, but it's nice to have some bigger pieces as well.

Our long term plan is to have a mixed reef tank.

I appreciate the advice re: to start with LPS - that's two votes in favor

I was a little concerned about you having multiple royal grammas ...
I like the idea that you are adding corals and wanted to let you know what happened in my tank ...
I had originally planned on adding only some softies, then maybe some LPS, and eventually some SPS ...
Before I had a chance to think about the future, a friend came over with some Montis. Then, a week later, there was a frag swap ....
I populated my tank faster than you can say cycle 
I ended up with so many SPS and took the crash course in keeping parameters ...
I am really happy with our tank and all it's SPS ...
So, I'm saying, just jump in 
If you can keep your major 3 up, just do it  |
No problem jumping in with a question about the Royal Grammas - I think I understand your concern with the multiple Royal Grammas, we had been told to go with either one Royal Gramma or three or more - but not to have two. So far the four of them are all playing nice together. The larger one is obviously boss, but there have been no bullying issues . . . yet.
And . . I had noticed how quickly your tank seemd to fill with frags - I had wondered what took place as your whole build has been a study of patience - I've been amazed at your pateince. Now I understand the sudden amount of frags. Thanks for the advice to "just jump in!"
Can anyone point me towards a good resource or two regarding chemistry / water parameters?
Thanks
