Personal Opinions

I came across a LFS about 15 miles from my house today, that is ran out of his house, and has a WIDE variety of fish, corals, tanks, equipment ETC. He also carries a 15 day warranty on all fish and corals which is nice!!! If it was up to yall what should I purchase, just name it, and I'll make a list on what I should get. I want something fairly easy to take care of.

My livestock:

FISH:

Coral Beauty
Royal Gramma
Blue Damsel
Sixline Wrasse

Misc. Hermits and snails

Sandsifting star

A small frag of Zoos

Lighting:

260w VHO with 4 blue LEDs.

I feed once a day and do weekly water changes. Thanks a lot guys!

Its not about what we think you should get its about what you want to get.

I personally want to get a coral of some sort, but I'm not sure what I should get.

If you are busy and don't have a lot of time to spend on your tank, get easy stuff. Zoas, shrooms, leathers, etc. They grow pretty quick and they're easy to frag and trade/sell when you want more stuff. Some LPS are pretty easy if you have a little more time to spend on your tank. Trumpets or Candycanes do pretty well and Hammers and Torches are always nice. Bottom line though, get what you like and know will survive with your husbandry skills.

Trachyphyllia radiata (closed brain) are hardy and beatiful. Short tenticle plates too, branching frogspawn or hammer are easy.
Good luck, and don't overstock--it could wipe-out your whole tank.

Yeah i was sort of worried about overstocking thats why I'd like to go with a coral or something instead of a fish. Any other suggestions?
